directmusic playing twice as fast
Author
Hi!
I''m using directmusic to play my sounds, but it plays twice as fast as it sould. I have read other posts that say the same thing.
They say the solution is:
Well, you could do something such as reducing the tempo of the Playback try this code to set the tempo
you could get the Tempo value from this
pPerf->GetGlobalParam( GUID_PerfMasterTempo,
(void*)&fTempo, sizeof(float) );
then, divide the tempo by half i.e. 2 :-)
then set the new tempo with this
pPerf->SetGlobalParam( GUID_PerfMasterTempo,
(void*)&fTempo, sizeof(float) );
where, fTempo is the current tempo of playback.
Actually i dont know the cause of this problem myself.It happens on some machines. I have seen such things happening before.

If I do that then maybe the sound will play slow on some machines and normal on others...
This should work!... but doesn't... =(

I dont know exactly but the function SetParam(...) ensures that a standard MIDI file (one not authored specifically for DirectMusic) plays correctly which means that as long as the sound is playing( sound coming from speakers..) this function will return a success.
Why don''t you try to test on different machines and see if it works....or try posting the executable with the MIDI file and let others test for you? You might get some better answers than mine...I too am new in DX

I've tried at 3 differnt computers now, they all play the sound twice as fast.
*sigh*
Anyone?
Here I set up directmusic
Here I load the file
Here I play the file

Hmm...
if I skip DMUS_SEGF_SECONDARY and put in DEFAULT value there instead it plays normal, but then I can't play two sounds at the same time...

Does your midi file contain a tempo setting? If not, I think directmusic uses the default midi tempo of 120. Try experimenting with different tempo settings until you get it to play the way you want it. By explicitly setting the tempo, it *should* play the same on any computer.
