Table audio doesn't stop playing while launching a table.

[Timog2179]

Hello,

I've got a little problem with my Table audio. The audio file keeps on playing while launching a Table, so the launch audio file of this table is overlayed by the table audio file. Is there someone who knows how to tell the program to stop playing the audio file when launching the table, so the launch audio file can better be heard?

Thank you.

Please attach your log and pinballx.ini. 

In addition ensure you are on the latest version. As I believe this was a bug I fixed already.

Hello, I have updatet to version 4.13 but the Problem persists. Here is my Pinballx.ini file. Thanks a lot.

Weird. I thought I already fixed this issue. It only affected windows 7 if I recall. Ill build a VM and see if I can duplicate the issue.

[Tom Speirs]

Or are you just saying two audio files are playing at the same time? Is this a bug or just a peroneal preference thing?

[Timog2179]

I think it's not a bug per se...i just wondering if there's an option to let the table audio stop when selecting the table to launch to prevent an overlaying of these two sound samples.

For example: star wars melody is playing when the wheel ist on the table. When i launch it theres an r2d2 sound what can just barely be heard because the melody keeps on playing.

[Timog2179]

I've found following alternative solution:

I've downloaded the tool "mp3gain" and used ist to "blow up" the standard volume of my launch audio files, so they can be heard pretty good now even though the table audio keeps on Playing. I think thats an acceptable compromise.
