Timeline playback skipping with audio events (M1 Mac, Spine 4.0 & 4.1)

Misaki Great thanks! This will be a huge help when fixed.

Came here because I ran into the same issue.
Hiding the events indeed works.
I tried converting my .ogg's to .wav and that did not help.
Here's hoping you can fix it!
Thanks 🙂

@Misaki is there any update to this as to when this issue will be fixed?

Misaki

alex19 Unfortunately, there is no fix in sight yet. The Spine editor is basically developed on Windows PCs, so Mac PC specific issues tend to take longer to investigate. If there is any progress on the issue, the issue ticket on GitHub will always be updated, so please refer to that.

Hi @Misaki any further updates on a timeline for a fix for this issue? We are Enterprise customers using Macs and this is making keyed audio pretty much impossible to do. We have already built a fair amount of animation in version 4.1 making use of the new animation curves systems so do not want to have to roll back to 3.8?

Misaki

peteshea We apologize for the long wait for this issue! We have fixed this issue in 4.2.21-beta. However, at this time, not all of the official runtimes we offer support 4.2 features, so you may not be able to start using 4.2-beta in your project yet. If you are in a hurry and still want to roll back to 3.8, we are happy to help with any questions you may have.

Thanks for the update.

peteshea Please note that on Monday we'll release a new Spine launcher that applies this fix for all 4.0 and 4.1 editor versions. We'll post another update here when that is done, then you can reinstall Spine to get the latest Spine launcher with this fix.

Nate

peteshea A new Spine launcher is now up, version 4.2.04. It fixes the audio problems for all 4.0 and 4.1 version. You can get it by downloading the installer from your Spine license page and reinstalling.

Nate Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm getting this same audio issue while using the 4.3.01 launcher in Spine Version 4.1.24. I can't scrub the audio while it's on the timeline either.

peteshea

@Nate Many thanks. Installed the new version and keyed audio now working fully on Mac M2.

Nate

Does it work in 4.2 or 4.3? Apple makes breaking changes, so older versions of Spine may struggle. 🙁

Ah it looks like it works in 4.2. Looks like it's time I upgrade lol. Scrubbing audio started to work too after I stopped using my airpods and played the audio through built-in speakers.

Nate

You are going to like 4.2! (and 4.3! but it's in beta)

Can you choose your airpods on the Audio view? It should show all your audio devices.

Nate
The only audio options I have are Default audio device and CoreAudio Default which doesn't make any apparent difference in audio output quality or output device. This screenshot is from the Audio view in a 4.2 file.

Nate

Thanks, we'll take a look at better support for multiple audio devices on Mac.

Nate

Ah, the way to choose the output device for Spine is in the macOS settings.
