DOE: Sound Extension

Hei hei and many thanks for the hard work of the creator and help of the users. I am new at this and I need some help please, because most of the tutorials I find can't help me because, a) I am VERY new at this and b) they are generally horrible.

I connected everything through teamspeak, changed to virtual cable before starting Syrinscape, then changed again to my headset, then connected to a server (and opened my Syrinscape bookmark in a new bookmark) but nothing happened. Now, I am totally noob when it comes to Teamspeak (which looks incredibly awful UI wise) and I have no idea where to go or what to do. I couldn't hear anything from Syrinscape, I couldn't connect to a server and nothing was happening. I managed to create a new sound by copy/pasting the syrinscape link and worked fine from withing FG, but only after restarting syrinscape with default output my headset.

Can someone please tell how can I stream the sound to my group? Can someone provide me with what to do in teamspeak? Is there any other program I can use beside that and tell me how? The instructions said that the procedure is the same with any other program like Skype but I don't understand where I'm supposed to change these things on Skype?

Hey Avalastrius. A lot of folks can help. I have a number of youtube videos on streaming sounds in FG. You can find me on youtube by searching for Lord Gwydion and Fantasy grounds. I'd post the link but I'm on a plane and can't access youtube. I have videos on using voicemeeter and using cleanfeed to stream sounds. I'm happy to help when I can if you want to join my discord channel. This link should still work: https://discord.gg/MCqjQek

I use discord for voice and cleanfeed to send sounds to players. I can help with teamspeak as well as I used to use it. Might just take me a bit to recall. I'm traveling today but if you post screenshots in my discord of the following I should be able to help:

Windows default playback/recording devices
Voicemeeter
Teamspeak audio settings (playback and recording) for any profiles you have set up (e.g. you and syrinscape)

Happy to try and help....

Oh, man. That was quick. I was able to make it work with Skype and Voicemeeter but it was a bit fiddly. Oh my god, it works amazing, totally transforms the game. I will (re) check your videos Gwydion and hopefully my noobness will improve.

Is cleanfeed easier to use? Please provide some help when you can.

Also, I have had some sound volume issues (too low for me, too high for my friend). Is there a trick to have a nice level or simply try to find some balance via windows mixer?

Again, thanks so much for the program. What a game changer it is. :)

I wouldn't say cleanfeed is necessarily easier to use, it all depends on your setup. If teamspeak is working well for you I'm a big fan of if it ain't broke......

The main reason I went to cleanfeed is I moved to discord for voice just because many folks in the groups I was involved with were using discord. For voice it was fine but I found the sound quality lacking when playing sound effects, music, etc.. So, I found cleanfeed (free solution too) and never looked back. I really like it. Like anything, just takes some getting used to and understanding how voicemeeter works so you send the right sound to cleanfeed. However, like I said if you have Teamspeak working and like it, I certainly am not here to recommend you change things.

If you hop in my discord sometime, I'm happy to pm you directly and help with whatever tweaking you need.

Thanks.

I got it working with Skype, so I will go for that. I read that there is a sound list ready I can use for FG instead of building up my own? What does that mean?

There are two products you might want to consider on the dmsguild.

The first is from the creator of the DOE Sounds extension himself, Dulux-Oz. I posted the link below and it comes out monthly. I suspect he will have September out shortly so you might wait for that one as it will be updated with the most recent syrinscape soundsets. This module is a great way to have all the syrinscape sounds loaded in fg, be able to search them, etc.

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/284...e--August-2019

The second is a D&D5e product that Rob2e and I collaborated on with Dulux-Oz permission. It automates many sounds within FG such that when a word or string of words are posted in chat that tie to the automated sounds (e.g. "fireball"), the sound will go off automatically. You can find that one here:

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/214...Grounds-Sounds

To be clear, you don't need either module, but I purchase Dulux-Oz's to support all the work he does and it makes it a lot easier to find sounds within FG. I use the one Rob and I created in my 5e games as its fun to have the sounds trigger automatically.

I guess Dulux Oz's list is an extension that works if you are fantasy subscriber at least, right? And by buying it I get access to all his subsequent updates?

Hi there...
Any ETA on PFRPG2 extensions?

Not sure, but I think Dullux updates requires purchase.

Hey, Avalastrius. The link I sent you to Dulux-Oz's module on the dmsguild. Summarizes all the soundpacks into categories to organize them into FG and makes them very easy to drag and drop into story entries or soundboards and to find them quickly. The links will only work for the sound packs you own within Syrinscape of course. So, if you click on the link for something you don't own or license then nothing will happen. To be clear, he updates the module for the new soundpacks each month and re-releases the module. I tend to purchase it once a quarter or so to support him. Given how much time and effort he has put into all his extensions for FG and release them for free, that is my way to support him.

The link I sent to the Rob/Gwydion/Dulux-Oz module on dmsguild is for a module that will automate many sounds if you at least have the fantasy subscription to Syrinscape. If you watch any of the Rob2e or my (Lord Gwydion on youtube) play sessions you will see how it works and hear sounds triggered.

Hope that helps! Again, you don't need either as you can create all your own and I have an old video showing how to setup sounds yourself on youtube if you want to go that right.

Happy Gaming!
