I dont know why this is, but the sound stutters alot on the NX series. :?:

Posts from ClieSource indicate that this is happening on a lot of NX devices, 60, 70 and 80. Although no trouble reported for NR series and below (strange!) :shock:

So why is it that our (supposedly :wink: ) faster devices are having trouble??

I hope that you are aware of this and a fix is in the works, and that it is not SONY's crappy Sound API that is the problem :?

Anyway, keep up the great work, this game is the best ive ever seen for Palm, bravo!! :D :D

Thanks for your post. We know about the problem and are spending time on it to try and improve it. We use the Sony sound api on pre - OS 5 devices without stuttering. Using the same api on NX devices causes stuttering. More info soon!

Good to know you guys are working on it!

I love this game, but at the moment am playing it with sound muted :(

Strange about the APIs though, hmm :?

The issue is only with OS 5 based Clies (ARM based Clies). Older Clies work without problems.

Game sound (sound that is directed through the piezo speaker normally) never comes out to well on headphones on the n7*0's let alone sampled sounds being played thru the headphones.

They could have encoded the sounds in yet another format using the Sony Audio format , but supporting the sound systems they did was enough work I imagine.

We'll release a fix asap. Also we need volunteers to test a fix

Apologies everyone, we are very interested in resolving the Clie NX/NZ/TG audio problem (as you are in seeing it resolved!). We're having problems getting the audio interface Sony provides on the NX/NZ/TG series devices to behave without distortion and clipping. We have a partial fix which improves the audio but doesn't eliminate the problem. You can download that here:

http://www.spiffcode.com/testing_1_0_a/Warfare%20Incorporated.prc

Note this is only for Sony Clie NX/NZ/TG devices. All other devices use different audio systems (i.e. audio on Clie UX series, pre-OS 5.0 Clies, and any non-Clie device is fine and does not exhibit the problem).

We are continuing to look into the problem.
