From a2e43f1e9c64f6f13ae52b5bf8c9628470c12df9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filoppi Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2023 21:50:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Audio: Deprecate OpenAL This will also revert the setting of anyone that currently has OpenAL selected to the default, which is Cubeb. OpenAL is only on Windows now, and it's the worst backend there by far, it crackles at latencies that Cubeb supports fine, it has no additional features to Cubeb. There seems to be no reason to allow users to even select, and in the dev irc channel, no one was aware of any case where OpenAL might work better than Cubeb. The plan is to see if users complain about this, and if not, just delete it from Dolphin. --- Source/Core/Core/Config/MainSettings.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Source/Core/Core/Config/MainSettings.h b/Source/Core/Core/Config/MainSettings.h index dddda8ae7a..84504e8965 100644 --- a/Source/Core/Core/Config/MainSettings.h +++ b/Source/Core/Core/Config/MainSettings.h @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ #define BACKEND_NULLSOUND _trans("No Audio Output") #define BACKEND_ALSA "ALSA" #define BACKEND_CUBEB "Cubeb" -#define BACKEND_OPENAL "OpenAL" +#define BACKEND_OPENAL _trans("OpenAL (Deprecated)") #define BACKEND_PULSEAUDIO "Pulse" #define BACKEND_OPENSLES "OpenSLES" #define BACKEND_WASAPI _trans("WASAPI (Exclusive Mode)")
