Sound pitch issues

[SkyeHDD]

Comparing the libretro version to Windows, libretro-prboom plays sounds at way too low of a default pitch. Changing the sample rate didn't help, nor did I think it would.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure if I can reproduce this.
Could you check this again in the latest version of the core that has added changes to the framerate, @Zero-Shift?
It's possible this was related to gamespeed/framerate issues.

I can confirm the issue. Sound effects seem to have a slightly lower pitch than normal.

Midi music seems fine though.

Thanks @Tasosgemah, there's an option in the in-game sound options menu under "options" -> "general" that changes the pitch to something closer to older Doom versions, does that make any difference to you?

[Ferk]

No, I just checked and that option is actually unused in the code....

[Tasosgemah]

Yeah, like you said, no difference.

I confirm that issue is stills there. It's a bit frustrating listen game sounds with low pitch.

This is Doom 2 for dos with original sound pitch:

This is from PrBoom (It's commented. Just jump to the video to listen the difference):

I think I have fixed this in #182

I think I have fixed this in #182

Is this fix live yet? I just upgraded and i see no difference.

@Tasosgemah You would have to build my fork here:

https://github.com/vanfanel/libretro-prboom

Try 70Hz mode for perfectly smooth movement and correct pitch.

[Tasosgemah]

Ah, i'm not well versed enough to build stuff. I'll wait for an update.

Like mentioned in #182 , this is either a frontend or audio backend / driver issue, as on my frontend the audio works perfectly fine with whatever framerate. Just to point you in the right direction.
