I have the exact same issue. I tried upgrading from 1.14 as 1.17 was never working on my STTNG, and the update file is now renamed to update-done, however the log still says that it is version 1.14, and i get the same license verify error as BENEATH:

2018-06-14 17:07:52.472 INFO [main] [despi.c:488] RasPinSound starting, version 1.14, serial: 323XXXX435
2018-06-14 17:07:52.473 INFO [main] [despi.c:493] loading settings from .pisound2
2018-06-14 17:07:52.520 ERROR [main] [despi.c:496] license verify error

steve45 it seems there is an error regarding license file that keeps us from testing the 1.18 build?

We will be there for feedback

Did a quick test with the 1.19 release this morning

Good news is that i now have sound on my STTNG again.

Bad news is that the problems i encountered earlier are still the same.

Most noticeable is that when ever i start a mode, the correct mode music starts playing, but after about 1 second, the "default game music" plays instead. Or likewise if you get the "command decision" where you can select a mode, the "command decision" music plays correctly, and when selecting a mode, the correct mode music plays for 1-2 seconds and then the "command decision" jingle/music is played again.

So as before, the biggest thing is that i have not got the correct mode music.

I tested with the original STTNG sound set.

This is a video of a test in a STTNG. Please check wether the problem is there also

Hi,

did a quick test on 1.19 with :
WPC-DCS : indiana jones WMS : here is the log and video
log : https://drive.google.com/open?id=15v9DOWgp4yhD88syBI7lapMX25RoWENY
video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y78ip3QgcWbTRheY6

my feedback is that it's really better. all musics seems ok now.
There is still a feeling of an issue with gfx. either not playing, not stopping well or a mess when too much sounds are played closely. like when multiple bumpers are hit in a second.

That's really getting better !!

i've test on LOTR whitestar, no change. still no music at first ball.

The video is showing a LOTR and not a Indi. Logfile of the LOTR with the current version would be interesting I think.

Yes i actually think the problem is shown in your own video too.

In the video when the command decision is given, the correct comman decision jingle/music is running. Then "Search the galaxy" game mode is selected. But the music for "Search the galaxy" isn't played, but instead the command decision jingle/music keeps playing. This is just like i described in my previous post.

However i could be wrong as i am not 100% familiar with the soundset you are using. But if you can make a longer video with different game modes started i could better see it. And even if you could use the original soundset instead.

steve45 you mentioned you had built in support for stop commands, but i forgot the syntax / usage of it. Could you provide a link to some info, or perhaps sum it up here? Thanks I would like to see if it makes any difference, or makes the sound test menu behave more like the original.

Btw really nice to see this project moving forward again Love what both of you guys are doing for the community!

As far as I can see from the pinmame source the stop commands are:

WPCS, WPC95 and WPC95DCS 0x03e3
DE 0x0018 or 0x0023.

In your case
stop_cmds=0x03 0xe3
should do the trick

I think the Search the Galaxy music is the same as the command decision select jingle no?

Thats why it would be nice if the video had shown more modes started, and also modes started directly from normal play

But i'll try the stop command now and see if it makes any difference.

Unfortunately the stop commands didn't help. Test mode still doesn't stop the music before moving on to voices, and gameplay still wont keep playing the mode specific music, but always reverts back to the main game music after 1 second.

At the very beginning the "Rescue mode" should play, but it only does for about 1 second. After that i start "Meteor" and the initial meteor music should play, but it only does for about 1 second before going back to the main game music.

Video from the attempt:

Cool project. That is beyond my pay grade!

Just did another test with the Ultimate by Pinballshark sound set, and this also had a lot of errors. Sometimes the mode music would not start at all, and other times it actually played just fine. But overall you can hear sounds stopping when they should not, and once in a while it is as if you hear just a short glimpse of a sound that should not have been played. So it is always that feeling of something just being "off" and not triggered correctly. And i am pretty sure the mapping is correct, as every sound in sound test is the correct one.

However i dont quite know how to help from here on? I can make videos of more games and paste the log, but i have a feeling the amount of data from that approach is way too overwhelming. So perhaps it would be a good idea to see if we could get the orgiginal sound set working first, as per my previous post.

You actually might be right that that specific mode and command decision uses the same music.

Sorry, here is the 1.19 video of ij

https://photos.app.goo.gl/UJsRoVGNqkFo2NAS8

sorry. Video of LOTR is from 1.17 but it's mostly the same as 1.19.
I've added to the same folder the log for 1.19 LOTR

Just throw in my 2 cents in.
I really think everyone should use the stock sound package while we are trying to “fix”things. That way we are all on the same page. Also, if you have an original sound board and can hook it up so it works on the machine at the same time Raspisound is playing on an external speaker that helps to hear problems live as they happen in real time. I explain how I did that earlier in this thread.

Just some thoughts.

Tried correcting the stop command to stop_cmds=0x03e3, but still no luck...

And updating to 1.20 did not make any difference either.

Log from a short test run with the 1.20 update: https://pastebin.com/mnZnHdnH

In the test i tried the sound test menu where music did not stop as it should, and in game i started 2 modes, both had the main theme music playing after 0,5 - 1 second of mode music.

Also, if you turn on the raspisound and have it preloaded and ready BEFORE the pinball machine, when the machine is turned on it starts playing the multiball music for a while, until it is interrupted by the error sounds because of the soundboard interface error. And if you listen REALLY carefully when starting a game and launching the ball, the same multiball music starts playing for about 2/10 of a second. It is barely noticeable, but it is there. And the log shows it as well. Really strange...

All tests done with the original mix for STTNG

I tested the new version 1.20, and nothing has changed, it still works bad, sounds overlap, do not end when they should, etc

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xsRVQ7pxqBiQ34ot4TgzXHBj0lT_vToM/view?usp=sharing

It's helpful to post which game, which mix, which platform... also is it 1.20 that you installed? there is no 2.0

Of course 1.20, my mistake

Road Show, roadshowJC

I have no time for testing atm, but i agree that GFX ending is still not working as it should. I had on 1.19 on IJ a lot of gfx not ending properly. like the ending sound still playing during the lottery.

If we get reliable sound reproduction, I will definitely want some more So I am exited to hear the sound quality will be improved.

However, until I get it working in my STTNG I will hold back on any further purchases.

But I really hope to see improvements with the new firmware versions that are coming.

1.21 is better but still some issues:

Sound test menu: Stop commands is definately better. Working on my STTNG up until it cycles from the last number back to number 1. When doing that, the engine/ship ambiance sound continues playing at the same time as the tune in the number 1 spot. So perhaps there is more stop commands i need to add to the config?

Gameplay: No apparent changes. Still same issues when starting a game mode. The correct music starts and plays for about 0.5 - 1 second, and then the main gameplay tune kicks in again. All other sounds seem to be ok.

And also the multiball tune still plays when starting the machine

Tested on STTNG with the original mix.

I'm interested by this debug too!
No time to test now but reading!

Glad to help, and really awesome to hear. I have a feeling this could be one of the more important fixes (for me anyways)

Unfortunately the missus just went to sleep, and the machine is right next to the bedroom so I won’t be able to test until tomorrow.

And btw, regarding the sound not stopping in sound test, I agree that it is probably not an issue during normal gameplay. I just thought that I would mention it if we were shooting for 100% emulation, and it was just about adding an extra stop command value to the config file.

I will test as soon as I can tomorrow.

Argh, me wants to test..

What’s keeping you from doing it then?

I test on roadshowJC, and unfortunately I do not see any changes, Red's and Ted's voice is not heard, eg the sound from the "New York - Smash a Cab" mission does not end, only after losing the ball it turns off. e.t.c

Hmm, i have a roadshow. Perhaps i should test on that too. But my STTNG have been my primary concern, as I really want to use the ultimate mix by pinballshark. At one time I had a Pinsound board installed in STTNG and really enjoyed that mix.

For me the biggest wish is getting it to run perfectly for STTNG, IJ and TZ as those have some really cool sound sets available.

Spare time at the moment. And this weekend.. has no end...
I'll try to give a try and update to 1.22

Mega worked for me after restarting my browser, and there are some real nice improvements in 1.22 for me in my STTNG. It is really really close to being 100% accurate now when using the original mix.

I will try another mix as well before long to see how that goes.

some feedback of latest build : raspisound-update-v1.23-144862146.zip
1) IJ WMS DCS : no sound is played after the preloading announce. i've got the version 1.23 mentioned, the preloading, then nothing more

2) LOTR Whitestar : same things.

i've put logs in the drive : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15zvU-iqDkVZI-azTAPpfo01kqPTJfcHY?usp=sharing

EDIT : i'll give a try to 1.22 official now

1.22 officiel tested
I've got sounds !
On IJ WP-DCS : it's really nice, except that sound are still overlapping when bumpers are triggered.
Shall i put on true the "suppress_repeated" option ?

On whitestar, i don't see any difference, as the main bug is still there. No music at ball 1 and no music restart when starting a new game (attract music is still played)

logs are in the same folder as 1.23
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15zvU-iqDkVZI-azTAPpfo01kqPTJfcHY?usp=sharing

Yes, I'm also confident.
Keep it up!!

There is no sound at version 1.23.
