Title: Music won't work at all
Post by: The Terminator on September 23, 2012, 10:40:26 pm

Hi, on my game the sf::Music class doesn't seem to be working at all. I get no errors, and my path to the file is correct, but no music is being played. Here's some of my code:

//Main music
sf::Music m_mainMusic;

//Load mainMusic into memory and set some propertie    
m_mainMusic.openFromFile("Resources/japanesemusic.ogg");    
m_mainMusic.setVolume(50);  
m_mainMusic.setLoop(true);    
m_mainMusic.play();

It won't work at all, and I tried using sf::Sound and soundbuffer as well and they didn't work either. Any suggestions?

'Stupid' questions: Does your audio driver work? I mean can you listen to music with any other application? Or is the default device set wrongly? ;)

Yes, I tested it out the file with Windows Media Player and the sound file worked fine.

Hmmm, have you tried it with another file than OGG?

Yes, I tried with .mp3, it worked in Media player, but not with SFML :(

The mp3 format is not supported by SFML.

Is there a message on the standard output (i.e. console)? Do you even check whether loading succeeds?

Just tested, it loads correctly, but still won't play the sound. Very frustrating.

Can you show a complete and minimal code that reproduces the problem?

Is `openFromFile` returning true?
