Sound Information Files have direction

angriff · Aug 2nd 2018

Seems that if you load a sound information file the file sound is located in the direction you a looking at. If you rotate while the file is still playing you hear the sound move around in the speakers/headphones attempting placing the source back at the direction you started the file.

Just an observation.

That seems reasonable. That way a cow's moo always comes from the cow, or a song from the gramophone. There's probably a bit you can set to specify whether the sound is ambient or from a point source.

As @Trevor mentioned, sounds are usually handled as 3D sound, so they have a specific location in the world. If you want to play the sound as a 2D sound (so it does not have a direction/location), make sure to load a mono sound file and use the playSound(SoundInformation) method.
