01 / OVERVIEW

What it does

San Andreas Sound Suite is an original framework-independent audio ecosystem. San Andreas Sound provides the playback layer and compatibility APIs; Dispatch and Station Pack provide optional synchronized programming; Radio coordinates the in-vehicle experience; and the Content Builder prepares configuration bundles on a developer machine.

The public repository now includes release-edition manuals and component-specific license notices. The software is MIT-licensed, selected original documentation, artwork, and demo media use CC BY 4.0, and bundled Dispatch recordings retain their own source permissions and attribution requirements.

03 / HOW IT WORKS

How the suite fits together

Install only the components the server needs, keeping Sound first and Radio last so providers and optional catalogs are available when the head unit starts.

  1. 01

    Render through San Andreas Sound

    The dependency-free audio backend handles positional playback and can provide xSound and InteractSound compatibility surfaces.

  2. 02

    Publish synchronized programming

    Dispatch maintains six server-authoritative service timelines, while Station Pack can publish server-owned music stations and shared program timing.

  3. 03

    Control the vehicle experience

    San Andreas Radio combines native stations, Satellite, Bluetooth, Server Radio, and scanner controls around synchronized vehicle state.

  4. 04

    Prepare content locally

    The Node-based Content Builder creates validated dispatch, station, and suite configuration bundles without running as a FiveM resource.

04 / FEATURES

Core features

01

Positional sound backend

Plays entity-linked and positioned sources through direct Web Audio with spatial processing, plus an HTML or YouTube fallback where full HRTF processing is unavailable.

02

Synchronized service dispatch

Maintains independent police, fire, EMS, municipal service, aviation, and marine timelines with shared offsets for late joins and newly tuned vehicles.

03

Full vehicle head unit

Coordinates native radio, Satellite, Bluetooth playlists, Server Radio, and scanner controls with synchronized per-vehicle state.

04

Server-owned stations

Adds an optional station catalog and deterministic program clock with three original demonstration tracks and original artwork.

05

Local content builder

Provides a standalone browser workbench for assembling, validating, importing, and exporting suite configuration bundles.
