    seems from the posts that many are coming up against the "stream" bug - sounds fine in flash app, sounds fine as an event, but (identical compression settings) a .swf with sound set to stream is distorted. Not the soundcard; seems to happen on macs & PCs. Anyone had success with "stream"? what was your setup? Anyone had this trouble and figured a way around it?

    i have never heard any real digital distortion,
    but i do hear pops and clicks in my audio because of a bug in flash related to the type of sound card setup i have.



    The sound card issue should have been patched a long time ago.

    I don't think it is the soundcard thang

    DizneY seemed to have the same problem ( http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth...?threadid=5975 ) in June. I just haven't had any luck avoiding it on multiple macs. Perhaps if I get a copy of flash for windoze box?...

    When an audio file is streamed in a movie clip and streaming export is set to any form of MP3 compression, Flash uses ADPCM compression despite your settings! The program uses a very wacky remapping strategy.

    You set MP3 08bit You get ADPCM 11k, 5bit
    You set MP3 16bit You get ADPCM 11k, 2bit
    You set MP3 20bit You get ADPCM 11k, 3bit
    You set MP3 24bit You get ADPCM 22k, 2bit
    You set MP3 32bit You get ADPCM 22k, 2bit
    You set MP3 48bit You get ADPCM 22k, 4bit
    You set MP3 56bit You get ADPCM 22k, 5bit
    You set MP3 64bit You get ADPCM 22k, 5bit

    Buy the way, the chart is correct, setting the export to MP3 8 will be a larger file then MP3 20!

    Enjoy!

    thanks

    thanks - good to know I'm not dreaming, & knowing that I have to go ADPCM will help me optimize in a sound editor.

    p.s. did you figure out the mappings the hard way? Geeezzz!!

    Yes. Based initially on sonic quality then confirmed by file size.
