Hello everybody! I have an issue about OpenAL: A sound source is moving away from the listener - and initially you can hear how it's getting less intense. But then the volume stays at a certain level, although it is still moving away and should get quieter. I tried all DisctanceModels, some AL_MAX_DISTANCEs, AL_REFERENCE_DISTANCEs, AL_MIN_GAIN and so on, but the output is always the same! (even alDistanceModel(AL_NONE) doesn't affect the sound output in any way; shouldn't there be no decrease at all when I use this?) I hope somebody has an idea what I might have forgotten. The sample code for the initialization is: // for the Soundsource: //.. alSourcef (Source, AL_PITCH, 1.0f ); alSourcef (Source, AL_GAIN, 1.0f ); alSourcefv(Source, AL_POSITION, SourcePos); alSourcefv(Source, AL_VELOCITY, SourceVel); alSourcei (Source, AL_LOOPING, AL_TRUE ); alDistanceModel(AL_INVERSE_DISTANCE_CLAMPED); alSourcef (Source, AL_MAX_DISTANCE, 2.0f); alSourcef (Source, AL_REFERENCE_DISTANCE, 1.0f); ... //and for the listener I tried: alListenerf (AL_ROLLOFF_FACTOR, 01.05f);

Ok, I found the mistake myself - when setting the AL_REFERENCE_DISTANCE value, sound isn't attenuated below this distance.
When not setting any of the flags at all (and so everything is on default value) it works just fine...
