audio device in use problem
 

just a brief enquiry....


i've noticed that if i'm running an AMOS program as a whdload front-end, and i use music on it (MEDs in particular) that even if i shut-off the music from AMOS, WHDLoad still sees the audio as "in use" (that's bloody AMOS for you)

on workbench, this is fine, as the "ignore" option on the requester still leaves the games functioning perfectly.

however, i'd like to "ignore" by command line if possible? (so that my front-end can do it) anyone know how i could do this? if i use the NOREQ option, it simply lists "audio device in use" ad infinitum in the CLI, without ever trying to ignore the problem ... :(

i've searched throught the readmes, and i'm buggered if i can find anything about it in there. anyone ever found a solution for this?


thanks for any help, as per usual

if you're fine with the requester, you may consider to launch it from cli with wbrun command (available on aminet) to emulate workbench exec....you just need to type wbrun -name of the file-, and it will be the same as launching -name of the file-.info icon on workbench...it's pretty great and i use it a lot!

hmm.. maybe i was a bit unclear.

i really need to avoid the requester, because using my front-end, workbench is never seen. (or even loaded)

launching from command line is fine at the mo, providing i dont use sound beforehand, it's just that the requester (or the NOREQ "repeat" result)
needs to be "auto'ed" to 'ignore' when sound has been used.

I will check the problem with NOREQ, this sounds like a bug.
A solve would be probably only a new option IgnoreAudioUsed.

ah, so there is nothing like that already? i guess it's no wonder my time in the readme got me nowhere!

well... i hope you'll consider adding it Wepl. :) it'd be very useful for the likes of muggins here.


the result of the use of NOREQ wasnt exactly what i'd expected to see either, but i'm glad if i've helped find another bug for you... (more glad than you are i expect though.. hehe )

you'd better switch to blitz basic - AMOS sucks!

i've tried. it doesnt like me. i dont like it.

i can do what i want with AMOS :p

fixes the the problem in conjunction with NOREQ

Thread necormancy, but issue is the same/similar as before!!!



Can anyone confirm if NOREQ is working on WHDload 18.3 ?


I am using the following from a script :

You can see i have thrown 'junk' (a non existing path) into the DATA= option.

However, i am still seeing a requester... (screenshot attached)

This is the case in all versions. Reason is that Data option is checked before NoReq. If you have a problem with it please put an issue in the bugtracker.

Thanks. I would like to see NOREQ work the same across all messages if possible (so that i can output to a file) - raised as issue 3690

Reviving an ancient thread: I could use a "IgnoreAudioUsed" option in WHDLoad. Would it be possible to implement this?

Have you tried if NoReq already helps with that?

I have removed opening the audio.device from WHDLoad as I see anyway not much benefit from it. So there will also no requesters anymore if the device is already allocated. New beta can be obteined from the website: http://whdload.de/whdload/whd184.lha

Thanks Weplm, stupid question: what audio.device was for?
