Hi,

I'm adding sound to a box animation. When the animation finishes I am calling:

sound.stop()

However, when I try to play it again(

sound.play()

) after, I don't get any sound...

Is this on npm? If not, any particular reason why? I found https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-buzz but that's out of date.

I know I can tell my package.json file to reference this via the Github repository, but Amazon Elastic Beanstalk doesn't seem to support this.

I know this has been raised before and that android requires a user gesture i.e a tap. The issue I have is that I cannot trap the error by putting the buzz.play() in a try catch. This makes the whole website disabled.

Is there any way of trapping this error?

Hi,

I have encountered the following behaviour in Safari (7.1 on OSX): Playing an mp3 file works nicely, but when I try to use the setTime(..) function on the sound, nothing happens. The playing just continues where it was. So it seems that it is ignored.

On Firefox and Chrome the setTime(..) works correctly ans it should.

Any Idea on what the issue here could be?

Best, Gerwin

How to change audio src properly and how to init an empty buzz object ?

I have a player service, like this:

@railsmusic.factory 'player', ['$rootScope', ($rootScope) ->
  playlist = []
  sound = null

  player =
    playlist: playlist
    playing: false
    ready: false
    current: null
    duration: 0
    progress: 0
    progress_percent: 0

    load: () ->
      sound = new buzz.sound('/songs/' + player.current.id + player.current.file_ext)
      sound.load

    play: (song) ->
      player.pause() if player.playing

      if song?
        player.current = song
        player.load
      if not player.current?
        player.current = player.playlist[0]
        player.load

      sound.play
      player.playing = true

    pause: ->
      if player.playing
        sound.pause()
        player.playing = false

    stop: ->
      if player.playing
        sound.pause()
        player.playing = player.ready = false
        player.current = null
        player.duration = player.progress = player.progress_percent = 0

    next: ->
      return false if not playlist.length

      nextIndex = playlist.indexOf(player.current) + 1
      if nextIndex < playlist.length
        player.play(playlist[nextIndex])
      else
        false

    previous: ->
      return false if not playlist.length

      previousIndex = playlist.indexOf(player.current) - 1
      if previousIndex >= 0
        player.play(playlist[previousIndex])
      else
        false

    seekTo: (time) ->
      console.log('seekTo')
      # console.debug audio.currentTime = parseInt(time, 10)

    updateProgress: ->
      player.progress = sound.getTime
      player.duration = sound.getDuration
      player.progress_percent = sound.getPercent()

  # Sound events
  sound.addEventListener 'canplay', (evt) ->
    $rootScope.$apply(-> player.ready = true)

  sound.addEventListener 'ended', ->
    $rootScope.$apply(->
      player.stop() if not player.next()
    )

  sound.addEventListener 'timeupdate', (evt) ->
    $rootScope.$apply(player.updateProgress)

  sound.addEventListener 'seeking', (evt) ->
    console.debug('seeking')

  sound.addEventListener 'seeked', (evt) ->
    console.debug('seeked')

  # Playlist methods
  playlist.add = (song) ->
    playlist.push(angular.copy(song))
    player.play() if not player.playing

  playlist.remove = (song) ->
    index = playlist.indexOf(song)
    playlist[index...1]

  player
]

Obviously, the app raise error TypeError: Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of null concerning the sound object which is definitely null.

Or maybe I'm doing wrong ? What is your advise for that ?

Thanks in advance. :)

The current AMD module implementation explicitly defines a name for the buzz module, which makes it less portable, see http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#modulename. If name definition is omitted, this makes the module easier to import into RequireJS.

Can create a pull request if necessary.

Hi. I found an Issue with Firefox (tested Version 5.0 and 6.0.2 - NOT tested 7, yet)

https://github.com/jaysalvat/buzz/blob/master/buzz.js#L182 If you call setTime(), the code this.sound.currentTime = time; seems to trigger the whenReady() event in Firefox, so we have an endless loop resulting in 100% cpu usage and stuttering sound. This behavior happens, if the soundfile has not finished loading!

Testcase: Clearcache and click "brakes in firefox" button in firefox and hear the sound or watch the taskmanager/activity monitor. http://jsfiddle.net/yTQUR/

Sound works on Safari - Mac and Windows Chrome - Mac and Windows Internet Explorer - Windows Ipads and Androids Firefox - Windows, But not for mac... even if I add an ogg format only....!!

Any idea?

Thanks!!!

Hi! I purchased six sound effects in wav format and converted them to mp3 and ogg vorbis using either total audio converter or audacity. The buzz format string is "ogg", "mp3" for all of the sounds. All of the sounds play in chrome and i.e. without any problems. But in Firefox, two of the sounds work with both conversions; one works only when converted by total sound converter; one works only when converted by audacity; and two of them don't work either way. Mediainfo reports the same info (Vorbis, 44.1 khz, 256 bps) for all twelve of the ogg conversions. VLC plays all of the ogg files just fine. Needless to say, this is making me crazy. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Added support to track individual source errors. If audio src gives a 404 error, the library does not provide any feedback about it.

https://github.com/rvulpescu/buzz/commit/e05260e246e2b05ed2383e034476aaf2a89c7977

Creates a new event for audio element, 'srcerror' to keep in line with the pattern .bind("srcerror", function(e) { //Todo: treat error });

Repository is not being loaded remotely when using the cli command "component install" followed by "component build" when adding buzz as a dependency. This could be because the main file has not been explicitly defined in a "scripts" array.

First of all thanks for the work on this library, it's 💯

We got an issue with setSpeed where if we set it before the play() it will not work in Safari and IE11, if we edit dist/buzz.js and use defaultPlaybackRate instead of playbackRate it does though.

// We've changed:
buzzSound.setSpeed(playbackRate);

// to:
buzzSound.sound.playbackRate = playbackRate; // makes it work in Chrome & Firefox
buzzSound.sound.defaultPlaybackRate = playbackRate; // makes it work in Safari and IE11

Anyone else run into this issue?

HI,

I have two events. Event 1: sound must fadeIn Event 2; sound must fade Out. The problem is that if i trigger Event 2 before Event 1 the sound starts playing in order to do fade out. How can I control that the fade out only happens if the sound is already playing (only if event 1 has been triggered)?

I am asking here cause I believe FadeOut considers only if the sound is already playing. Sorry if I am wrong and thanks for any help.

I am getting nothing when using this on Chrome(android phone). It works if I use a desktop browser. It also works perfect on firefox(android phone)

<script>

if (!buzz.isSupported()) {
    alert("Your browser is too old, time to update!");
}

if (!buzz.isOGGSupported()) {
    alert("Your browser doesn't support OGG Format.");
}

if (!buzz.isWAVSupported()) {
    alert("Your browser doesn't support WAV Format.");
}

if (!buzz.isMP3Supported()) {
    alert("Your browser doesn't support MP3 Format.");
}

if (!buzz.isAACSupported()) {
    alert("Your browser doesn't support AAC Format.");
}

var test = new buzz.sound("/assets/alarm2", {
    formats: [ 'ogg', 'mp3' ],
    volume: 100,
    autoplay: false,
    preload: true,
    loop: false
});

test.play();
</script>

sfx[valores[0]] = new buzz.sound(valores[1], {
	formats: [ "ogg", "mp3", "aac", "wav" ],
	preload: true,
	autoplay: true,
	loop: valores[2]=="1" ? false : true,
	volume: valores[3]
});
console.log("Colocando ended.");
sfx[valores[0]].bind("ended", function () {
	sfx_actual[valores[0]]++;
	console.log("Canal: " + valores[0]);
	console.log("Repeticiones: " + sfx_repeat[valores[0]]);
	console.log("Actuales: " + sfx_actual[valores[0]]);
	if(sfx_actual[valores[0]]==sfx_repeat[valores[2]])
		endSfx(valores[0]);
});

This code show the message 'Colocando ended.' but never show Canal:, Repeticiones: etc...

What appens? Thanks!

var s = new buzz.sound(filelocation);
var myGroup = new buzz.group([
  s
]);
myGroup.load();
myGroup.togglePlay();

Also, how do I find out if the sound is done playing?

There is a pretty significant delay before a sound is played in OS X safari. There is true regardless of the sound format (i've tried MP3, aiff, and wav). This is not an issue unique to buzz. I've experienced it with ng-audio as well. A little google-foo indicated that it is also an issue with SoundManager2, however there is a work around when using that library.
