7/14/2023 0 Comments Milkytracker audio driverIt's so simple I can't believe it is the solution, but I'm posting it just in case someone else has this problem. I am now using 8.10 and kept the packages I really wanted to have (like QJackControl).Īnd ubuntustudio used pulseaudio as well.Īll right, I think I have fixed this. Thanks for your help, Deltafire and jivatma! It's much appreciatedīy the way, jivatma, I had ubuntustudio installed before but I went back to the normal distribution, since 8.10 didn't feature a realtime kernel, and after all, it isn't much more than a different skin and a couple of metapackages which install a bunch of programs that I do not use. ![]() If I have some time I might dig into milky's code and see why it is not working with the pulse+sdl tandem, but right now I'm afraid I'll have to let things as they are or risk an unusable/unstable audio system. I guess the "option" would be to completely replace pulseaudio and use ALSA but that would be going against ubuntu's direction and would make updates pretty annoying. and got an error, kind of expectable, since there wasn't any sound server to serve SDL. Then I killed pulseaudio and tried with milky again. Tried without killing pulseaudio first, and I was able to load a module and hit play, the patterns moved but still no sound. Completely restarted (just to make sure). I changed libsdl to use the ALSA flavour, also changed. I thought of posting this on ubuntu's bug tracker for the package, but I think the maintainer of the package also hangs around this forum so maybe it will be more appropriate to post it here. There's people using milky on ubuntu so I wonder if anyone has any advice? It will be much appreciated. It didn't produce the error from before, but it simply produced a hung up program. I also recompiled milky once applied the patch to prevent Jack from not working, and it didn't work either. I tried to increase the buffer size, and clicked the 2^n option just to see what could happen but there wasn't any difference. SDL: Buffer size = 2048 samples (requested 2048) When launching the program from a console, I get no errors or useful messages, only this: I saw somewhere there was a guy suggesting people to change from libsdl-pulse flavour to alsa flavour but even if I tried it (sceptically, I must add) it didn't make any difference. Just to discard possible reasons for this, I can tell I can use other programs with the SDL driver perfectly, such as Schism tracker and code that I did using SDL's audio output. It just looks as if the computer's mixer was muted! (and that obviously is not the case). But although the rows in the pattern move when playing the song, there isn't any sound at all. I installed it using ubuntu's package manager, and the only driver that it accepts is SDL's. mod in Unity from June 2010.I'm trying to get some sound from Milkytracker but it isn't working.

Third Party Tools and Further ReferencesĬurrently, the most popular tools to create and edit Tracker Modules are MilkyTracker for OSX and OpenMPT for Windows. As a result, tracker modules lend themselves to games, where music is required but where a large file download would be a problem. A single sound sample can be modified in pitch and volume (and can have other effects applied), so it essentially acts as an “instrument” which can play a tune without the overhead of recording the whole tune as a sample. ogg) in that they can be very small without a corresponding loss of sound quality. Tracker module files differ from mainstream PCM formats (. xm), and the original Module File Format (. Unity supports the four most common module file formats, namely Impulse Tracker (. In contrast, tracker modules include high quality PCM samples that ensure a similar experience regardless of the audio hardware in use. However, MIDI has a disadvantage in that the sounds are dependent on the sound bank available in the audio hardware, so MIDI music can sound different on different computers. The tracks are scores that contain information about when to play the instruments, and at what pitch and volume and from this, the melody and rhythm of the original tune can be recreated. Tracker Module files are similar to MIDI files in many ways. The concept was introduced in the 1980’s (mainly in conjunction with the Amiga computer) and has been popular since the early days of game development and demo culture. Tracker Modules are essentially just packages of audio samples that have been modeled, arranged and sequenced programatically.
