Audio / Re: "Failed to open sound file "FOO.wav" (format not supported)" for any format

Well, at least it works with the minimal code example you gave, so that's good news.

I noticed when I run the program without having the file present I get the error of "(format not supported)". So I think the problem is somehow I have working directory set to a wrong value when I run my application, resulting in it not being able to find the file.

The error message is a bit confusing in this regard, instead of saying "format not supported" it should say "file not found".

Anyways, I'll have look to see if I can get it to work in my project...

EDIT:
When I edit the working directory, it loads fine! It still doesn't play, but that's probably due to some unknown bug in my code.

I reckoned you meant the audio files? I attached them to this post.

I started out with a .wav file, and I export this to various file formats using Audacity.

But the original .wav should be fine as well; it plays fine. I also get the error for that file.

Audio / "Failed to open sound file "FOO.wav" (format not supported)" for any format

Hi all,

I'm trying to load an audio file and play it, but whatever I try, I keep getting the error

"Failed to open sound file "FOO.wav" (format not supported)"

So far I have tried the .flac, .wav, .ogg file formats, but none of them work! I am sure my sound file itself is fine (I can play it back with windows media player.) I also tried it out with other sound files, they all fail...

My code is:

 
sf::SoundBuffer buf;
std::cerr << "Load from buffer returns: " <<  buf.loadFromFile("gunshot02.wav") << std::endl;
 

This always returns 0. The sound file is in the same directory as the executable.

I am using SFML 2.3.0. My compile-toolchain is msys2, MinGW64. My linker list is:

-lsfml-system -lsfml-main -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-audio -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lopenal32 -lflac -lvorbisenc -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg

My platform is Windows 7, 64 bit.
