Hi all,

This is a very simple problem but I just can't work out what's going wrong.

I'm trying to play a wav sound in my GLFW game. This is a slightly simplified version of the code:

<code>
Global snd_click:Sound

snd_click = LoadSound("audio/click.wav")

If Not snd_click
Print "Sound not loaded."
End If

PlaySound(snd_click, 1)

</code>

The "Sounded not loaded" message comes out every time and, unsurprisingly, no sound is heard. I've double-checked that my path is correct and - it is! The wav is a functional audio file.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ian

hi

Your code looks good.
Are you really sure of your file location ?
What section do you use ?
What the size of your wav file ?

What's the directory structure?

See what

Strict
Import mojo

Class CGame Extends App
	Field audio:Sound
	Field loopCount:Int
	Field playedCount:Int
	
	Method OnCreate:Int()
		audio = LoadSound("audio/shoot.wav")
		If Not audio Then Print "Sound not Loaded" Else Print "Playing in OnCreate"; PlaySound(audio,1)
		Return 0
	End
	Method OnUpdate:Int()
		If Not ChannelState(1) Then  playedCount += 1; PlaySound(audio,1)
		'PlaySound(audio,1) 'Uncomment this to break playing of sound
		loopCount += 1; 
		Return 0
	End
	Method OnRender:Int()
		DrawText("Played Count:" + playedCount,0,0)
		DrawText("Loop Count " + loopCount,0,20)
		Return 0
	End
	
End

Function Main:Int()
	New CGame
	Return 0
End

does. You should check that a channel has finished playing before reusing it. Note: This code expects a directory called audio in the myapp.data directory. And try using a different audio file like the ones that Mark has supplied in the examples.

Thanks for the replies.

My data folder contains a sub-folder called audio and the wav file is in that. I've tried moving the wav file up a level (and changed the file reference accordingly) but still no good.

It seems like the sound just won't load. Maybe I'll try a different file.
