I was recently testing the improved audio API and faced an issue where if more than 1 wire is connected to a single AudioEmitter parented to a BasePart, the produced sound seems to be offset from the regular position that it would normally be playing at without the second wire attached.
I also noticed that the part’s CFrame does not affect the offset. When the issue is present, audio coming out of the emitter looks to always be offset a few studs + on the Z axis.
Hey @Suprise444 – I opened the attached placefile but was not able to reproduce this offsetting behavior – could you provide more information about your system? I.e. which headphones/headset/speakers are you using?
It appears that the for the bug to occur the second AudioPlayer doesn’t even need to be playing, the only requirement is for both wires to be properly connected (have the Connected property set to true)
I seem to be having this issue as well, I’ve noticed that when I have multiple fire sounds connected to my weapon, the sound are offset.
I also seem to notice this only happens in Studio, and it works perfectly fine in the actual published place.
I don’t have a video to demonstrate the multiple wires, but I did test that, and that seems to make the difference. Having multiple sounds connected to one emitter is what I believe causes it.
Hey; I was finally able to reproduce this – it appears to only happen on devices that are using surround sound. If I set my channel format to 7.1, I can get this to happen. It was not occurring with stereo output.
