Many games report 6 channel output while only providing data for 2. We only output 2-channel audio regardless, and in the downmixing, front left/right only provide 36% of their volume. This is done assuming all of the other channels also contain valid data, but in many games they don't. This PR alters the downmixing to preserve front left/right, so volume is not lost.
This improves volume in Link's Awakening, New Super Mario Bros U, Disgaea 6, Super Kirby Clash.
Creates a new BasicSettings class in common/settings, and forces setting
a default and label for each setting that uses it in common/settings.
Moves defaults and labels from both frontends into common settings.
Creates a helper function in each frontend to facillitate reading the
settings now with the new default and label properties.
Settings::Setting is also now a subclass of Settings::BasicSetting. Also
adds documentation for both Setting and BasicSetting.
Currently, processing of audio samples is called from AudioRenderer's Update method, using a fixed 4 buffers to process the given samples. Games call Update at variable rates, depending on framerate and/or sample count, which causes inconsistency in audio processing. From what I've seen, 60 FPS games update every ~0.004s, but 30 FPS/160 sample games update somewhere between 0.02 and 0.04, 5-10x slower. Not enough samples get fed to the backend, leading to a lot of audio skipping.
This PR seeks to address this by de-coupling the audio consumption and the audio update. Update remains the same without calling for buffer queuing, and the consume now schedules itself to run based on the sample rate and count.
Preliminary work for upmixing & general cleanup. Fixes basic issues in games such as Shovel Knight and slightly improves the LEGO games. Upmixing stitll needs to be implemented.
Audio levels in a few games will be fixed as we now use the downmix coefficients when possible instead of supplying our own
