try piping to sox -r 8000 -c 1 -t u8 - -d
for example, this should work as a demo: python3 -c 'import sys; [sys.stdout.write(chr(( t & (t >> 8)) % 256)) for t in range(2**19)]' | sox -r 8000 -c 1 -t u8 - -d On Sat, Feb 3, 2024 at 6:20 AM <beecdadd...@danwin1210.de> wrote: > > thank you, stranger! > > I found so many good C formulas, some sound like they could be used within a > game, even has pauses with silence and everything! > > I had to find out how to use sox, though on another site: `sox -r 8000 -c -t > u8 test.raw output.wav` > > what is weird is that I can't get bytebeats if the `t` is int8_t or > something.. doesn't seem like that makes sense, it's like 4 bytes 32-bit, not > 1 byte. > not sure difference between signed 32, 64 and unsigned, but I tried 16-bit `t` > and it's just not it.. am I messing something up? > > does this only mimic bytebeat, and is not true 8-bit technique to get > realistic bytebeat? > > On Fri, February 2, 2024 9:15 pm, Nick Owens wrote: > > back when i used to mess with these, i frequently used `sox` to play the > > 8-bit > > samples. it can do the sample conversion for you to whatever the system > > needs. > > > > > > On Fri, Feb 2, 2024 at 11:08 AM Omar Polo <o...@omarpolo.com> wrote: > > > >> > >> On 2024/02/02 18:41:46 +0000, beecdadd...@danwin1210.de wrote: > >> > >>> hello > >>> > >>> I've tried for hours to play bytebeat as everyone else > >>> > >>> > >>> I cannot find anything on the entire internet > >>> > >>> > >>> all I got is `cat a.out >> /dev/speaker)` as root.. a.out is compiled > >>> code , a loop and `putchar(t*((t>>12|t>>8)&63&t>>4));`.. this doesn't > >>> sound nearly the same as it does to other people it's also slow, not fast > >> > >> I don't think it makes sense to feed speaker(4) with an executable code. > >> > >> > >> Haven't seen the code, but based on your description I guess it should > >> be more like > >> > >> $ ./a.out | doas tee /dev/speaker > >> > >> > >> or at least that's my guess, my crystall ball don't always works correctly. > >> > > > > > > >
