Volume control does not seem to work. about nico

Thanks, I'll look into it!

Hi, looks like it works, however volume is between 0 and 255.
Here's your example code updated to allow you to adjust the volume with left and right buttons, you should be able to hear the volume change as you adjust the volume.

import nico

proc init() =
    music(0,2,0)
    musicVol(255)
    masterVol(255)

proc update(dt : Pfloat) =
  if btnpr(pcLeft):
    # adjust volume down
    var vol = musicVol()
    vol -= 10
    musicVol(vol)
  if btnpr(pcRight):
    # adjust volume up
    var vol = musicVol()
    vol += 10
    musicVol(vol)

proc draw() =
  cls()
  setColor(7)
  # draw music volume
  rectfill(1,1,(screenWidth-1).float32 * musicVol().float32 / 255.0f,4)

nico.init("BeefGame","Random Game")

nico.createWindow("nico",128,128,4,false)
loadMusic(0,"music.ogg")

nico.run(init,update,draw)

That example doesnt run properly either. Volume is at a constant 100%. I tried both system libraries, building sdl2 from source, and also using the Steam Runtime libraries. All have the same volume at 100% unless musicVol is 0, which then it mutes. Video of what happens(Very loud so rip ears)

@beef331 can you confirm which version of nim and nico you're using when this doesn't work?
the above example is working correctly for me with nim 1.2.0 and nico 0.2.1.

[beef331]

Those versions match the ones I'm running. Worth noting my entire system audio gets distorted when launching nico. The issue is not present with your game Moving In.

[ftsf]

@beef331 Very strange, which platform are you running this on? I've been testing on Windows 10.
Moving In is made with a very old version of Nico, so it's not directly comparable.

I've had this issue on Ubuntu and Regolith Linux 64bit.

[ftsf]

@beef331 ok, i'll do some testing on linux soon, thanks.

I'm also having audio issues, audio is completely distorted and very loud on the platformer and paint examples.

Ubuntu 18.04
Using sdl2 from the apt repos and sdl2 built from scratch
using libsndfile from apt repos and libsndfile built from scratch

Compiling and running a demo program included with the libsndfile source code does not have the same issue

[ftsf]

this should be fixed now! I was using the wrong sample format when opening the audio device. I dont know why it worked on windows.

Latest update fixed the audio for me 👍
