no idea, it seems like our overload is implemented correctly

        public unsafe void BufferData<T0>([Flow(Silk.NET.Core.Native.FlowDirection.In)] GLEnum target, [Count(Parameter = "size"), Flow(Silk.NET.Core.Native.FlowDirection.In)] ReadOnlySpan<T0> data, [Flow(Silk.NET.Core.Native.FlowDirection.In)] GLEnum usage) where T0 : unmanaged
        {
            // ImplicitCountSpanOverloader
            BufferData(target, (nuint) ((data.Length) * Unsafe.SizeOf<T0>()), in data.GetPinnableReference(), usage);
        }

        public unsafe void BufferData<T0>([Flow(Silk.NET.Core.Native.FlowDirection.In)] GLEnum target, [Count(Parameter = "size"), Flow(Silk.NET.Core.Native.FlowDirection.In)] ReadOnlySpan<T0> data, [Flow(Silk.NET.Core.Native.FlowDirection.In)] GLEnum usage) where T0 : unmanaged
        {
            // ImplicitCountSpanOverloader
            BufferData(target, (nuint) ((data.Length) * Unsafe.SizeOf<T0>()), in data.GetPinnableReference(), usage);

You’re getting a device?

roeyskoe

R

roeyskoe•9/28/23, 2:58 PM

Yes, audio plays just as expected

Nimbus Fox

Hmmm weird. Either it’s a M2 issue or… something else

roeyskoe

R

roeyskoe•9/28/23, 2:59 PM

It would be a bit strange if M2 would be the issue

Agreed

This

AL = AL.GetApi();
Context = ALContext.GetApi();

AL = AL.GetApi();
Context = ALContext.GetApi();

Should be

AL = AL.GetApi(true);
Context = ALContext.GetApi(true);

AL = AL.GetApi(true);
Context = ALContext.GetApi(true);

Nimbus Fox
