Volume inconsistencies during use #159
Comments
Adding label because of email @emily-phet sent to us saying " I believe the only thing remaining is whether or not John would like to try to address the sound levels issue I brought up before RC. " @jbphet please remove the label if you would like RC to go out before this issue is completed. |
For reference, the version to which @emily-phet is referring is v1.5.0-dev.23. |
I've done some investigating, here are my initial responses:
|
@emily-phet - can you log the version of Mac OS and Safari on which you experienced these issues? |
Mac: 10.13.6 (I haven't updated to mohave yet) |
Nice! I bet that will help a lot. |
I've added a number of changes that should address these problems, most of which are related to the initial muting of sounds by the browser. I'm not quite finished just yet though, because it seems like some of these changes have had a detrimental effect on the book rubbing sound, so I'll need to address that before submitting this for testing. |
Okay, the observations about how this sim behaved on Safari led to a lot of changes due to differences in the way that Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox all handle initial enabling of the sound. I built a dev version with all the changes - @emily-phet, please try this out and see if it fixes the problems that you noted above and let me know. If it's all good, @zepumph and I will integrate these changes into the current RC. Link: https://phet-dev.colorado.edu/html/friction/1.6.0-dev.1/phet/friction_en_phet.html. |
@jbphet I am happy to cherry-pick when I do the rest of the issues if you would like. Just let me know what shas should be added. |

The changes have been rolled into the Friction release branch and should be ready to be included in the next RC. Over to you @zepumph. |
@jbphet is there anything for QA to test here? If so please explain, otherwise assign to yourself (if you want to verify in the rc) or close (or surprise us with a new option). |
@jbphet I left this issue out of the issues to check on for the RC.2 QA issue. If this should be checked on, please add it to the list of issues to verify in phetsims/qa#276. Otherwise close. |
Yes, I do think this should be tested, so I've added it to the list for the RC test. |
1.5.0-rc.2 I don't hear this issue so I think it can be considered fixed. |

Issue 1: Many (all?) sounds seem to 'adjust' themselves after load/re-load. Will play at one volume initially and slightly softer after that. Doesn't happen after reset.
Reproduce 1: On sim load, with mouse, repeatedly pick up zoomed-in chemistry book. First pick up sound is louder than those that follow. (Safari, on my Mac)
Issue 2: After all 'losable' particles have flown off and you're rubbing the final layer on the book, volume seems to get louder (a little too loud).
If it seems like a more difficult fix, might be best to go ahead and let QA start testing so they can be putting together the full list of challenges. Let me know what you think.
