Two user findings from the Campaign A listening session.
1. The portal tunnel's in-flight sound was silent while its enter/exit
cues played. The tunnel's authored SoundTweakedHook drained into the
world 3-D path at its synthetic owner's origin (0,0,0) — after A2 that
dies twice: the listener is usually beyond the -50 dB no-allocate radius,
and the world pool is suspended for the whole transit hold. The cues the
user COULD hear were on the interface bus, which has neither problem, and
retail's tunnel is gmSmartBoxUI — UI-owned — so that bus is also the
faithful route. UiPresentationHookSink now wraps the shared router for
the tunnel: sound-bearing hooks go from-centre through the interface bus
(AudioHookSink.OnUiHook); every other hook kind still reaches the
particle/lighting/translucency sinks unchanged.
2. Ambience cut dead inside houses; retail keeps the outdoor soundscape
in sky-lit interiors. This is TS-66, now retired: the ambient listener
source resolves the per-cell CEnvCell.seen_outside bit through the
physics cache (the same #107 field AdjustPosition reads) and converts the
envcell-local origin through the cell's WorldTransform into landblock
coordinates before the 3x3 walk centres on it — an outdoor Position's
origin is already landblock-local, an envcell's is cell-local, and
skipping that conversion would centre the walk wrongly by up to a
landblock. A not-yet-resident cell record resolves to silence for that
rebuild rather than a wrong walk. Sealed dungeons stay silent, which is
retail-correct.
The user also reports interiors carrying their own local sound in retail
(hearth-type emitters). Statics already register their sound tables and
route animation hooks, so the expectation is that the seen_outside fix
plus existing emitters covers it; re-listen decides, and anything still
missing becomes a precise follow-up.
Full Release suite: 11,740 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.
