Sound keeps fluctuating as a song is being played

Open nucleartoast999 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Sound keeps fluctuating as a song is being played When I play a song, the volume will get quieter at some parts, and then get louder at other parts.

How to reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Make a new song
  • Put these notes on their corresponding layer: Iron Xylophone on note A0 on layers 1, 2 and 3 and Double Bass on note E3 on layer 4
  • Copy and paste these notes on ticks 4, 8, 12, 16 and so on
  • Set tempo to 9.75
  • Play the song and hear it get quieter

Expected behavior I expected it to have a consistent volume.

Screenshots Unforunately I can't get OBS to record sound for Minecraft nbs.

Hello, thanks for the detailed report!

The sound "dipping down" as you described it is a result of the automatic volume attenuation that Windows does when the output of an application is clipping. If you check the Windows volume mixer, you'll see the problem very clearly:

If you decrease the 'Master volume' slider at the top of the NBS interface, this should decrease the output volume of all sounds and prevent clipping, so this attenuation won't happen as much.
