This can still be changed in-game later by calling audio_sound_gain with the sound asset ID as the argument:
-
audio_sound_gain(snd_Explode, 0, 0); // Set the asset-level gain to 0 (new instances of this sound play muted)
+
audio_sound_gain(snd_Explode, 0, 0); // Set the asset-level gain to 0 (new and existing instances of this sound are muted)
+
Pitch
+
The resulting source pitch has a lower limit of 1/256 (-8 octaves) for all sounds. It has an upper limit dependent on the compression type of the sound - uncompressed sounds have an upper limit of 256 (+8 octaves), but compressed sounds have a limit of 4 (+2 octaves).
+
If the source pitch is clipped, a warning message will be printed to the console. If the source pitch is clipped on the upper bound for a compressed sound, a note will also be printed to the console pointing out that they have a lower upper limit than uncompressed sounds.
+
On HTML5, uncompressed sounds and compressed sounds have the same range of 1/256 to 256. Because of this, there is no specific warning for clipping a compressed sound on the upper bound.
