We want sound in wiimote and when emulated -- Through speakers/DSP plugin

There might/probably is some documents on getting a sound to play through the speaker
but not sure about emulation wise.

Updated by MofoMan2000 over 15 years ago

If the wiimote itself is detected as another sound device (check the windows control
panel, I've had XBox 360 headsets show up in there when plugged into my XBox 360 USB
guitar controllers) then it may be a lot easier to play Wiimote sounds through that
speaker. A lot of it depends on how the Wii processes Wiimote sounds and how they
will be decoded, not to mention emulated. Will a separate DSP plugin be needed or can
it all be handled with the current one? Or would it be handled by the Wiimote plugin
itself?

Updated by sl1nk3.s about 15 years ago

We're not sure yet what is causing the wiimote not to output the sound, but you can
get some sound out of the wiimote by going into the main menu, changing the wiimote's
speaker volume, then closing the home menu, opening it again, and hovering any button
that's supposed to make the wiimote rumble.
It could be an issue with wiiuse, the API we use to send data to the wiimote and
handle the connection, although we're "supposed" to only send "raw" data, it could
also be bad timing somewhere causing the sound not to play, but the data for sure is
sent to the wiimote, i don't think anyone took the time to really debug it :(

sl1nk3.s, my guess from looking at the wiibrew page is that the wiimote's speaker is
rather dumb (literally). Instead of using a mode which allows for time-based transfers,
the wiimote just shoots out any sound data it gets instantly. Therefore, you must send
the data at the correct speed. In dolphin we would probably have to detect the "send
audio data" report, push the data into a buffer, and send it at the correct rate.

I tried to go into the menù and I changed the wiimote's speaker volume....I go out
of the menù.......After this,I returned into the menù and I felt a small noise
diriving from the wiimote....I used Dolphin r4635 in Win Vista 32 bit...
Now I don't know if the noise was correct,but I know that Dolphin sent the audio
data to the wiimote. :)

Since the Wiimote already produces sounds in Super Mario Galaxy (and another game I
forgot -_- ), it can't be too far away, can it? Or was that done by accident and no
one knows how and why it came? g

for example when being fired from a sling star. Or when collecting star bits.
I don't know if it's still there...haven't played the game since one or two months...

I have some weird noise in the wiimote speaker on the game "NBA 2K10", pushing de

I'm useing Dolphin SVN R 5286 (x64), under Windows 7 (x64), and is needed to uncheck
the "Use Panic Handlers".
I don't know if this info will be helpfull, but I hope so.

Maybe MKWii may help to trace down this issue.

When playing it with GC controller the sound that appears when making stunts or you are followed by weapons or you are followed by players with star or mega mushroom comes out of the regular speakers.

When playing with Wiimote, these sounds should get out of the Wiimote speaker. But there is no sound at all (no sound out of the regular speaker too).

I think it would make things easier only to watch what happens to one specific sound in one situation (GC controler) and in the other situation (Wiimote) to find out which sound should get sent to Wiimote first.

Updated by marcel.werner3 about 14 years ago

@karsten: that sounds like a good idea actually. Dunno, though, if any dev is looking into this.

I still find it odd that at some point it was working a bit. Seems that was somehow by accident O_o

Actions #41

Updated by marcel.werner3 almost 14 years ago

Alright...I did a little testing and narrowed down the revisions where the Wiimote Speaker was working A BIT. The sound is not clear and it doesn't always work. Best game to test is SMG (hovering over the save game planets with the cursor, fetching star bits and being launched from a sling star, e.g.).
It works in r4613 and r4614. Couldn't narrow it further down for now cuz there was so much trouble in those builds with the real wiimote and I guess there won't be any sound out of the wiimote when using an emulated one ;p
However, I remember, it didn't work for very long...so if those who know the code take a look at some revisions before r4613 I guess they should find whatever made the wiimote speaker work :)

I have identified where the Wiimote speaker is being blocked and will use HLE to hack around it. For some unknown reason, the game thinks that the Wiimote is too busy to stream sound data. It does seem like some sort of timing or queue issue, but somebody more familiar with how Wiimotes work in Dolphin will be able to tell for sure. It is likely that I can get this working for emulated Wiimotes. I will test later today whether the HLE technique works for real Wiimotes. If not, I guess we could manually send the speaker data to the Wiimote.

Good news, the speaker on real wiimotes work fine with the HLE'd function. I will commit the code after I finish up the emulated wiimote speaker to PC speaker code.

skidau: Are you going to implement the emulated wiimote to PC speaker on windows, or are you able to do this in a nice cross platform way? Or will I need to add this support for linux? Just curious.

It will be a cross platform solution and I will make an enable/disable option. Although the solution is a hack using HLE, it requires DSP LLE to work.
