I haven't done any game programming in many years, but it seems like it might be necessary to add some kind of special logic for the water sounds in particular, so that when a water sound is triggered it generates something to indicate 'water sound is playing here'.

Yours sounds much smoother for small waterfalls because it is literally emitting more sound with each block, but if you're able to tell how weather2 does it, maybe that could give you some ideas as to how to handle large waterfalls.

Is there a way to edit this manually?Īlso, I'm not sure if it helps or not, but the weather2 mod by Corosus (for 1.12.2) had waterfall sounds that got 'larger' as the size of the waterfall increased. If there is a way to reduce the number of sounds coming from flowing water I think that'd be the most elegant way to fix the problem (since it would reduce the load on the system in general), but maybe a temporary fix could be to allow the maximum number of sounds to be increased in the config screen. Even the shots that are far away are hitting the limit, even though I can't actually hear the waterfall at that distance.

It looks like it is hitting the limit of 245 sounds. It may be helpful if these values are configurable, in case a specific situation (or system performance?) requires an adjustment. With waterfalls, an alternative would be to add a few deeper sounding 'bigger waterfall' sounds that get progressively larger-sounding and have one of those play in place of several smaller sounds. Suggestion: If it is an issue of there being too many sounds playing at the same time (seems most likely), it may work to have the sound engine check for nearby waterfall sounds (or other duplicate sounds, like when there are 50 similar mobs in close proximity) and then only play a set number of them (specifically the ones closest to the player). Is it possible to use OpenAL hardware acceleration for this mod or for Minecraft in general? Many sound cards support OpenAL, but I'm not sure if it's possible to make a game actually use this in Windows 10. : SoundControl Sound Processor is lagging behind 26 msecs : SoundControl Sound Processor is lagging behind 32 msecs It isn't constant but I frequently see messages like these in the log: This is on a system with a Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4, Xonar DX sound card on Windows 10.

In the center of a waterfall I've seen it reach over 9ms.

I also noticed that in the debug screen it is showing 'Sound Control Sound Processor' hovering in the 5-6ms range when it starts missing sounds.

The closer I am to the waterfall (starting at about 7-12 blocks distance depending on the situation), the more sounds are missing. Place many water buckets on a hill that isn't very steep (roughly 1x1 block steps) to create a wide waterfall with many 'steps', then try to break blocks to make sounds.

I do have several other mods installed (Terraforged, Optifine, Biomes O Plenty and others), but this is the only one that focuses on sound. For example, blocks breaking, lava sounds etc. If I am near a slowly sloping waterfall (1 block steps basically) that is several blocks wide and has a lot of vertical room to flow, the waterfall sounds seem to overload the sound engine and prevent any other sounds from playing. I will just make this a quick description, in hopes that the problem is simple enough that it is easily repeatable.
