Title: sf::sound causes severe performance lag.
Post by: Me-Myself-And-I on May 30, 2024, 03:46:49 pm

I'm having trouble getting around this. If I play a simple sound it always makes the program lag. Is there something that i'm doing wrong with sf::Sound?

I have a simple script that happens only once.

                buffer[4].loadFromFile("ASSETS/thunder.wav");
                sound[4].setBuffer(buffer[4]);
                sound[4].play();
 

Its only an array of 10 sounds and an array of 10 buffers. Any clues as to why it causes a lag? More specifically, I notice a definite lag in graphics when this happens.

Make sure you're only loading the buffer from file *once* then keeping it around, and not trying to load it every frame
