I'm confused with strange snd_loop behavior. hdlCurrent = snd_loop(music_1, 100, 0); It plays my background sound, but it place it somewhere in 3D and when I move and rotate my camera I hear sound moving from one speaker to another. Can I change this behavior? When I use media_loop instead, music is played like it should be (like in media player). But when new loop begins - where is some little delay and noise sound between iterations. Can I preload music files for media_loop to play seamless? What is the best practice to play background sound loops? Thanks in advance for any solution.

Also proberly a fade in/out wouldn't hurt either unless you don't want this type of action.

Hmm snd_loop should play the sound in 2D and i see that you have the balance set to 0 so it is equal on either speaker. Playing a sound in 3D would use ent_playloop. media_loop streams the music, and so preloading the file is the opposite of what it is supposed to do. For using preloaded files you have to use the snd_play/loop functions.

You can fix it by lowering or disabling hardware acceleration for sound in sound card properties - in my case it helps setting basic acceleration level. It may help somebody else.
