Title: Failed to load sound buffer from file
Post by: Contadotempo on September 29, 2010, 08:26:38 pm

Hi, I'm new to the forums so I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct section, but here it goes.

I tried making a program in Visual Studio C++ 2008 using SFML, that would play a simple .wav file. However when I run it I only get the message:
"Failed to load sound buffer from file "sound.wav".

The code is the default one provided on the Audio tutorial:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/audio-sound.php

source file in: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/sources/audio-sound.cpp

I've included libsndfile-1 and openal32 on the exe folder. The sound is present on the folder as well and is named sound.wav

What could be wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help

It was a problem related to Visual Studio 2008.
I was compiling on debug mode. Changing it to "Release" solved it.
