Parsec audio issues?

Trying to stream the game using parsec presents an issue where people joining the stream would hear a very loud noise to the point where playing the game is impossible.

I've tried looking up this issue but found nothing on it, is there a way around this or has anybody else even had it?

Hi,

We will investigate this issue and see if we can do anything about it on our side, I'll keep you posted.

Thanks

Hi BrutalEdvar,

We have not been able to reproduce the issue consistently on Parsec, but we did add a few optimizations for sounds in the latest update.

It was working fine on all our latest test sessions, I can't guarantee it'll fix your problem but if you do give it another try please let us know. :)

Thank you

Having tried that with a friend as well, I can tell you it was only happening through Parsec arcade ! Standard parsec was doing fine audio-wise (though it had terrible performances, as most of the time). Didn't try post-update though, will have to test that again :)

Thank you! That's useful feedback, I'll see if I can reproduce using the arcade.

Also to be fair, this was not the only game doing it. We tried playing the Fling to the Finish demo, which is done in Unity afaik, and had the same issue !

From what I've seen it seems to be a Unity issue. The only solution on the dev side would be updating Unity (potentially not realistically doable depending on budget/team size and other constraints as updating a Unity game engine version is long and tedious). On the player side solutions include using standard Parsec (not the Arcade) or using Steam Play Together. Havent tested the game since then but it might be fixed too (either by the game or by Parsec) ;)
