knecoli22 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 So I updated the 4 wav files to silence the annoying key beeps while in the A/V section of my F90BT. I may be crazy but it REALLY seems to me that the buttons (physical and on screen) respond more quickly now and the system doesn't appear to hang or lag as badly as it did. Could substituting the 40kb system files with the 7 kb silent wav files really have made that big of a difference or am I just being optimistic? I know 40 kb isn't that large but could the .wav file size combined with the code to perform whatever task is assigned to the button be causing the system to lag? Either way . . . AWESOME MOD GUYS!!!

HiFiSi Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's definitely plausible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leetcoder Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I notice it big time. The reason why is that I integrated the deck with my steering wheel control. Everytime I control the steering wheel with the sound there is a huge lag and delay. After I silence out the tone, it seems to run much quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erok Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 After reading these posts I decided to try to put in the silence wavs to see if they improve the response of my steering wheel controls. And to my surprise I can definitely say that it worked and my steering wheels controls are much more responsive! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leetcoder Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 It would be much faster if it doesn't even have to load the silence .wav. It takes some processing when loading a .wav file, even if a silence wav. If only pioneer allow us to disable the sound. It might even be possible for us ot hack this to not even load the .wav.

knecoli22 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 What would happen if we just removed the sounds from the sounds folder? Would we blue screen? haha I haven't tried it but I have a backup of the files. Maybe I try and just delete the wav files??? I agree though, the smaller files seem to make a big difference.

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 What would happen if we just removed the sounds from the sounds folder? Would we blue screen? haha No it wouldn't blue screen, but it may not function right without the sound files. If it searches for the file and it's not there, it may not know what to do. IE just yesterday I was making changes to my UI's and I forgot to rename the file from "Copy of image.res" to" Image.res" and the screen was black because it couldn't find the files. It's better to just make them a blank sound so at least the files are still present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It would probably throw an error message or window. It might continue working or it might sieze up. With the iGo stuff, if I've omitted something it throws a little windows error message, then pretty much locks up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tacomaboy Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I replaced mine as well, and I have noticed it to be a little faster, but not quite as fast as it should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flinkazoid Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I just deleted them... of coarse after backing them up, and it works fine. No wasted time opening a blank file. Super Fast!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cali007 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 sorry if its redundant, but where are these files and what are they labeled? I want to just delete these as they serve no purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1fastrsx Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 The files were under the "DATA/sound" folder. I can confirm that deleting these files seems at the moment not to cause any problems... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gamezilla Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 has anyone tried opening a blank text doc and saving it as the same exact file name, with the same extension? that way you would still have the file there but it would just be blank instead of a silence file.

kg_jettaIV Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 has anyone tried opening a blank text doc and saving it as the same exact file name, with the same extension? that way you would still have the file there but it would just be blank instead of a silence file. That might work, but from the sound of it the newest/easiest way is just to back up the files and delete them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
