Hello,

I'm currently working on a top down game with a few positioned sounds, and I noticed that some sounds are "cracking" when played at an object / position. It is quite annoying since I heard it's a chrome issue and never got fixed, so the bug occurs in NW.js as well, but not in Firefox.

Since I want to publish my game using NW.js, I'd like to know if anyone knows a tip to make the cracking quieter ?

Thanks :)

Hi MrRiker30

Unfortunately positioned sound is broken in chromium. It isn't an issue with Construct. A couple of Construct users have logged bug reports with the Chromium team and I recently added a small project to that bug report using simple javascript to demonstrate the issue. Hopefully they can get it solved in one of the next few releases.

As NWJS is based on Chromium, the issue is present there and unfortunately there are no workarounds.

Your best course of action is to move to non-positioned audio and, if you want to, use the fade volume action with appropriate events to change volume based on distances.

Sorry for the bad news.
