DOTS Audio Discussion

When we can expect basic documentation and DOTS Audio as package?

 

From what I understand this system generates a graph similar to the way the Playable graph works, and then there's a visualiser. Are there plans for making it a system like Shader/VFX Graph, where the authoring can happen in a UI and not just code? I also wonder why the UI design here is disparate compared to the other tools.

 

Curiously, with this system, would we be able yo choose sound devices to input output to and from? Or would we still be ljmited to Unity's current system for that? Being able to provide mic inputs via direct DOTS integration would be neat.

I imagine having a few mic inputs and potentially 4 output sources providing different tracks (music, voip, sound fx)

 

So I post my question here because it's a better place:
I see that an IAudioJob containing ExecuteContext.PostEvent doesn't compile with Burst.
Will this be supported by Burst at some point or will the API change?

I see the Megacity demo avoids this API even though it's part of the presentation.

I can workaround this with a 1 element array

Code (CSharp):

1.     [NativeDisableContainerSafetyRestriction]
2.     public NativeArray<bool> voiceCompleted;
3.  

and polling that bool in the main thread, but events look more clean.

 

Is the plan to continue using the FMOD API & prop up the DSPGraph atop it?

 

One audio feature I’ve always wanted to do in Unity (which I don’t believe there is a straightforward way to do) is to mix 3D audio from two different listeners.

For instance, imagine a first person point and click adventure game, with Myst-like crossfade transitions when the player clicks to move. I’d like to also do an cross-fade of the audio between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ locations- fading out audio from where the player was, while fading in audio from where the player is moving to.

Right now, I don’t think that’s possible in Unity, without some clever hacky trickery.

Would something like this potentially be possible with the move to ECS audio?

 

So what are the reasons to remain with FMOD typically?

 

Now with 2019.1.0 RC1 I'm getting a console spam:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Internal: JobTempAlloc has allocations that are more than 4 frames old - this is not allowed and likely a leak
3. (Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Allocator/ThreadsafeLinearAllocator.cpp Line: 539)
4.  
5. To Debug, enable the define: TLA_DEBUG_STACK_LEAK in ThreadsafeLinearAllocator.cpp. This will output the callstacks of the leaked allocations
6. (Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Allocator/ThreadsafeLinearAllocator.cpp Line: 541)
7.  
8. Internal: deleting an allocation that is older than its permitted lifetime of 4 frames (age = 5)
9. (Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Allocator/ThreadsafeLinearAllocator.cpp Line: 313)
10.  

Is there something I can do with this?
I don't have access to ThreadsafeLinearAllocator.cpp ...

Edit:

I get this with only calling

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. dspCommandBlock.Complete();
3. dspCommandBlock = dspGraph.CreateCommandBlock();

from an Update() handler.

The graph is empty, no sounds are created yet. (Sound playback works correctly, it's just that the editor is not really usable with all the spam.)

 

The errors come if I disable VSync.

With VSync set to Every V Blank it works correctly.
With VSync set to Don't Sync is spams this error.

It would be good to have a better workaround for this.

 

Wow, this looks really exciting! Audio hadn't progress much from since 5.0.0. Can't wait to SIMD all the mixing and effects. I am so excited that I just went and search for my signal textbook from university.

 

As far as letting the user choose how they hook into the audio callbacks, I already have a use case for this since I am using a custom audio engine in C/C++ and wanted to bring my samples up into and mix with Unity.

I will definitely be trying this out when it gets some docs.

 

Is there any sound occlusion (by walls or something) here (or planned) ?

 

Personally, I cannot wait to finally be able to set non-zero loop starts in my audio clips without having 3+ audio sources acting as one. Even if I have to pull open the codebase and create my own output component/clip type, at least that's (possibly) going to be an option now. (And I'm kind of looking forward to doing it, honestly.)

 

In UnityCsReference, if you use the latest 2019.1 branch you could already see the backbone new audio stuff in "Audio" folder. (Many are newly added from diff to 2018.3 branch, seen as green in the picture) Fortunately that Unity is transitioning to visible C# code we can study in the mean time without ECS in the way here. (How a sample provider could stream us bytes for DSP graph, etc.)

 

Event order when exiting playmode in the editor is somewhat messed up.
I have an AudioSystem with OnEnable/OnDisable

When exiting playmode:
- OnDisable is called in the player scene where I release all DSPNodes
- OnEnable is called in the editor scene where I re-initialize my graph for editor mode
- I get a message saying: "Destroyed 1 DSPNodes that were not cleaned up. Memory leak may result."

Clearing up the playmode DSPNodes should happen before OnEnable is called in the editor scene.

 

The other reload happens after script recompile, but that works as expected.
1. Unity compiles scripts
2. Bails if there's a compile error
3. OnDisable is called on everything (*)
4. C# domain gets reloaded
5. OnEnable is called on everything (*)

This is THE reason I use OnEnable for initialization, as for example Start is not called after script recompile.

* I'm talking about [ExecuteInEditMode] only. For playmode scripts it's much simpler, their lifetime is not overlapping with weird stuff like playmode change or script recompile. But I DO need audio in editor mode.

The issue is: when I exit playmode the emergency cleanup happens AFTER I already built the editor DSP graph.
I'll work around it with delay calls but the code will get ugly fast...

Edit: The cleanup happens after the first round of Update calls even...

 

Edit: After more testing I found that even delayCall doesn't work 100%
It works around 90%-95% of the time.

So, what event or callback can I use after exiting playmode that comes after the cleanup?

 

This is immensely exciting, it's great to see audio get the DOTS treatment.

My main question is this: is it currently possible to write a "loopback" application, that takes incoming microphone-captured audio and plays it through a spatialized emitter in the scene? Think of it as like a "loudspeaker" app, which blasts whatever you say in realtime out of a 3D audio emitter object off in the distance of the scene.

Is DOTS being engineered to have a really low latency round-trip audio path? That is, if I wrote such a "loudspeaker" app, what would be the total latency between my tapping the microphone and my hearing the emitted "tap" from the spatialized loudspeaker object? Most live looping or perforrmance audio systems try to get round-trip audio latency under 10 msec or so (e.g. 64 sample buffer at 48Khz = 1.3 msec buffering latency). Is that likely to be possible with DOTS? Will it depend on what input/output audio stack it's coupled to? (And are there any low latency output audio stacks that handle Unity spatialization properly?)

Really low latency spatialization is something I have been wondering about, and if the new DOTS audio stack helps handle that, it would be fantastic. Certainly DOTS should finally make it possible to write audio code in C# that can reliably meet low-latency tiny-buffer audio deadlines! (There's no deadline like an audio deadline, 'cause an audio deadline can't miss....)

Context is that I've ported my http://holofunk.com gesture-controlled audiovisual live looping app (which used ASIO for low roundtrip audio latency on Windows) to Unity. I wound up trying out all the Windows audio APIs (AudioGraph, WASAPI) and finding it impossible to get their roundtrip latency low enough. So I wound up back on ASIO, only this time using JUCE and my own P/Invoke audio wrapper library. But ASIO won't work on HoloLens (it's not even a Microsoft standard), so I'd love a low-latency audio solution that'll work on HoloLens 2.

If the DOTS audio stack lets me get really good low round-trip latency using Unity only (especially on HoloLens), it will be amazing for my app!

Also, above you mention a bug fix you hoped to get in the 2019.2 preview. But there's nothing at all in the 2019.2 beta release notes about DOTS audio. Will 2019.2 have DOTS fixes?

 

From what I understand DOTS Audio is separated from what input/output Unity could use, so by itself it will not change audio path.

So for example currently we have this pipeline for output :

1. Imported AudioClip has the byte stream.
2. AudioSource could read out the stream, the output is depending on import settings.
3. Multiple AudioSource works together to determine which one will get mixed at the end of frame (priority, spatial settings, amount limit, etc.)
4. Software mixer works with AudioMixerGroup asset, apply channel effects, and sum up audio to one final stream. This mixer is the built in FMOD?
5. The final stream is sent to native hardware abstraction layer depending on device, it's Unity job to select. (e.g. OpenSL ES for Android which could talk to HAL)

With DOTS and IAudioJobs I think we could do whatever to get the final stream for 5. by changing 2. 3. 4. (to interconnecting DSP nodes that transform audio bytes), so that way you reduce latency of soft mixing of FMOD by replacing it, but not the native level.

- Say I could make a mixer-less scene which could only play 1 AudioClip at time and the next one completely overwrite the previous one. This scene maybe a cutscene where all audio are already pre overlaid and I just want it to be on sync with the cutscene. Maybe because it is a single stream I could program the native side to keep looking at a certain buffer and just send that out, and so could cut time that Unity have to interface with native. (Which I don't know what happened without source code access)
- I could make a new mixer that doesn't care about spatialization for my simple 2D game to improve performance.

 

Looks like

Unity.Experimental.Audio

has been removed from Unity 2019.2

There's

Unity.Audio

but it only contains

*Internal

classes eg.

DSPCommandBlockInternal

Where's the rest of the API?
I was looking in the package manager, enabled experimental packages, but I couldn't find the one for DSPGraph.

 

from: https://forum.unity.com/threads/megacity-feedback-discussion.647248/#post-4343740

It's coming as package for 2019.2 but it's not available yet afaik (at least I haven't seen anything related on bintray yet).

Would be nice to get some estimate when the package is coming though (before full 2019.2 launch, after it?).

 

This sounds very promising. Will the thin HAL be able to access ASIO devices on Windows? Would be extremely useful for installations with custom mixing tools and speaker setups (we use a 192 wavefield synthesis speaker setup).

 

I too would very much like this.

 

I have a question: will there be a path to working with existing spatializers in DSPGraph? or an API to inject whatever parameters the existing spatializers need from the sound emitter about the position and outBuffer, and get the resulting processed buffer?
Or is there work being done with other spatializer developers to have an existing product on release?

And related to this question - will there be a path for enclosed audio processing plug-ins to be created for unity?

 

Excellent, very glad this is on your radar! I am having difficulty getting a JUCE-based native audio plugin to work as well under Unity (native Windows target) as it does under my .NET test app. Posted for help about it over at the JUCE forums... since the Mono runtime doesn't support debugging into native DLLs, debugging this under Unity is extremely slow. JUCE is wonderful but if the HAL allows me to actually debug down into the Burst-compiled "native" C# that my loopback audio library is written in, I will be absolutely thrilled.

...And, maybe I should ask: will it be possible to debug into the Burst-compiled C# running in my app's DSPGraph? When targeting a native PC app on Windows? (better not get too excited just yet....)

OH YES! AND! Will all this run on HoloLens 2? With audio DSPGraph debugging, even? Never hurts to ask for the moon.

Also, I noticed this in the document talking about the Megacity audio project:

That update rate is given by the DSP block size defined in Unity’s Audio Project settings (typically 512, 1024 or 2048 sample blocks with target platform-specific variations), and the system’s sample rate (typically 44100 or 48000 samples/second), so somewhere in the range of 10-45ms.​

My FocusRite 2i2 USB interface's ASIO drivers can be turned all the way to 16 sample blocks at 192Khz. (And that's a mid-end interface, $160 or so.) I hear you saying above that you'll be supporting whatever the hardware can do, so I wanted to provide this data point. Realtime performance audio apps need <10msec latency total including all buffering and FX, and that's an audio latency target I don't often see mentioned, so I hope you include it in your testing when you bring the input HAL online.

If you can write a "loopback" app that just routes input directly to output, and if you can tap the mike and hear it on the output with no perceptible delay whatsoever, then you'll unlock performance audio apps on Unity that are otherwise literally impossible. Of course not every platform can do this at the driver/hardware level (hello Android), but iOS can, and macOS can, and ASIO on Windows can....

 

A DSP graph like VCV Rack, with wires and modules GUI would be amazing, so you can even create a Eurorack with 3d sound in the loop.

 

First DSP Graph package arrived on staging
https://bintray.com/unity/unity-staging/com.unity.audio.dspgraph/0.1.0-preview.1

Package doesn't seem to work with current engines (tested briefly with 2019.2.0b5 and 2019.3.0a5), but it looks like we might soon get some version we can use =)

 

I've been wanting this for years!

In fact this is the only reason I came to this thread to see if anyone was talking about it. We need this for split screen games too!

Let's make it happen! Multiple audio listener support!

 

It's a bit niche but typically I would imagine it's handled with left/right panning? or do you mean routing streams to different outputs? such as headphones for one and speakers for another ? seems like the panning is probably more relevant for more home gamers if players are nearby.

Alternatively:

Visualise it like a minimap problem: the audio listener is at the center 0,0,0 facing forward and the sources are shifted to that local space, then you can have everything you're asking for, for any number of players.

 

There was a two week silence after I asked that question, so I initially dropped it.

But it would still be very useful to me. My main purpose would be to cross-fade audio between two points in space - something I still don’t believe there’s a great way to do in Unity (though I would love to learn otherwise).

It’s a feature that may also be useful to people using Unity for real-time film projects or advertising. I would love to see it implemented, or to have low level access to be able to implement it ourselves.

 

That's the thing though it's easily done with existing Unity but it requires abstracting where the audio sources are. They need to all be in the same local space.

The two locations of sound are spatially in the same place, moved around the listener, which doesn't move.
Then using the existing audio mixer to crossfade between the two sets which are local to the listener.

Obviously it would be simpler and not cost money to hire a unity developer to have it built in (which would just do this under the hood anyway since there's only one real listener).

 

What you’re describing here is what I’ve done in the past, but I’ve always considered it a hacky approach. And it doesn’t work well in all cases (like times when you would end up with overlapping reverb volumes).

That said, if the goal of DOTS audio is to reproduce the existing Unity audio feature set in a DOTS environment, maybe requests for this new feature aren’t appropriate for the thread.

 

Which is what I've been doing, but with big performance costs and quirks. I would imagine DOTS could help optimize this and make it a Unity standard to allow multiple audio listeners. I'm not familiar enough to know if this is in the scope of DOTS audio, or if I need to bring this request elsewhere, but I imagine it could be beneficial to coordinate the development.

I would not have any need to do that. All I need is to have multiple 3D listener locations which can be mixed together or interpolated.

 

I made it to compile with 2019.2.0b6 \o/
Now to make it work.

I see that

DSPGraph.GetDefaultGraph();

is gone so I can only use

DSPGraph.Create()

But then I have no idea how to connect it to the soundcard output.

 

I don't see any class named

DefaultDSPGraphDriver

in com.unity.audio.dspgraph or inside any of the engine .dll's.
Also the only mention of

AttachToDefaultOutput

is in

AudioOutputExtensions.AttachToDefaultOutput()

which expects a struct that implements

IAudioOutput

but no implementation is provided in the package.

 

Ok I implemented it as:

Code (CSharp):

1.         struct DefaultDSPGraphDriver : IAudioOutput
2.         {
3.             public DSPGraph dspGraph;
4.             private int channelCount;
5.  
6.             public void Initialize(int channelCount, SoundFormat format, int sampleRate, long dspBufferSize)
7.             {
8.                 this.channelCount = channelCount;
9.             }
10.  
11.             public void BeginMix(int frameCount)
12.             {
13.                 dspGraph.BeginMix(frameCount);
14.             }
15.  
16.             public void EndMix(NativeArray<float> output, int frames)
17.             {
18.                 dspGraph.ReadMix(output, frames, channelCount);
19.             }
20.  
21.             public void Dispose()
22.             {
23.             }
24.         }
25.  

Now I got to the point when I can play a sound \o/
Then the Unity Editor disappears without a (stack) trace.
There's nothing in the log, the crash handler doesn't come up.

 

Turning off Burst caught a NullPointerException in my AudioKernel.
Now Unity crashes with a stack trace:

It suspect my cleanup code running after the sound ended. The following code was put together looking at the Megacity version and was only minimally modified for 2019.2 to compile.

Code (CSharp):

1.                 block.SetSampleProvider<VoicePlayerJob.Params, VoicePlayerJob.Providers, VoicePlayerJob>(
2.                     (AudioClip)null, playerDspNode, VoicePlayerJob.Providers.Sample, 0);
3.  
4.                 VoicePlayerDisposeJob disposeJob = new VoicePlayerDisposeJob();
5.                 block.CreateUpdateRequest<VoicePlayerDisposeJob, VoicePlayerJob.Params, VoicePlayerJob.Providers, VoicePlayerJob>(
6.                     disposeJob, playerDspNode, request =>
7.                     {
8.                         request.Dispose();
9.                         voiceCompleted.Dispose();
10.                     });
11.  
12.                 block.ReleaseDSPNode(playerDspNode);
13.                 block.ReleaseDSPNode(monoToStereoDspNode);

 

I got to the point when I can run DSPGraph starting and completing sounds for multiple seconds before Unity crashes.
Things I found out:

Code (CSharp):

1. block.SetSampleProvider<VoicePlayerJob.Params, VoicePlayerJob.Providers, VoicePlayerJob>(
2.                     (AudioClip)null, playerDspNode, VoicePlayerJob.Providers.Sample, 0);

causes a crash later, so I simply commented it out.
Adding a DisposeJob threw errors so I tried to get rid of it.

I removed the

voiceCompleted

signaling and went back to use

PostEvent

I found that you need to call

DSPGraph.Update()

for Events to be delivered. (That wasn't a requirement before)

Not calling the right things during shutdown will crash Unity so there was a lot of trial and error starting Unity again and again.

When I run the system for a few seconds I get a crash in:
