Title: Cannot load a wav file
Post by: da_coolest on February 17, 2012, 04:59:30 pm

I have been trying to run the cpp file provided with the tutorial (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/audio-sound.php) and I keep getting an error message in the console "Failed to load sound buffer from file "sound.wav".

I use visual studio 2008. I have copied all dll from extdll and the sfml-audio.dll to the release folder. a wav file with the name "sound.wav" is also copied to the same folder.

following is what I got in the output section of the IDE.

Code: [Select]

You're in debug mode, not release.

And if you run the executable from the IDE, the working directly may be the project directory by default, not the executable one. You can set the working directory in the project settings (under "Debugging").
