Audio / Re: Problem playing old voc file

« on: December 18, 2018, 02:11:34 pm »

VOC is an extension for creative voice files. But no matter, It seems I googled an old documentation link. From the version 2.2 documentation:

bool sf::SoundBuffer::loadFromFile    (    const std::string &     filename   )    

Load the sound buffer from a file.

Here is a complete list of all the supported audio formats: ogg, wav, flac, aiff, au, raw, paf, svx, nist, voc, ircam, w64, mat4, mat5 pvf, htk, sds, avr, sd2, caf, wve, mpc2k, rf64.

Apparently file format support has been more limited in recent versions. I will write the code to convert to wav myself. Should not be to difficult. Thanks for waking me up

Audio / Problem playing old voc file

« on: December 18, 2018, 12:28:35 pm »

I'm trying to play a voc file from an old dos game I'm trying to convert to c# code (mostly fun programming exercise). I'm using the c# bindings of sfml, but I think the problem is more general to the audio library.

I can play ordinary wav files fine. but when I try to play the voc file I get an error "Failed to load sound buffer from file". Which is a rather generic error. All my other test files are in the same folder.

Both adobe audition and vlc play the voc sound file without problems. its mono and about 6250hz.

I also tried loading the voc data as samples (should no do that it has formatting blocks in there) and created a buffer from those samples as mono and 6250 samplerate. Does not sound pretty, but works. So its not the channel count or samplerate.

I'm guessing whatever is used for loading a voc file has a problem. Or maybe its me . Anybody here that can help me?

DotNet / SFML.net audio crash problem

« on: December 03, 2018, 09:09:14 pm »

Hello,

I have been making my first steps using SFML.net. I started with some baby steps and after a little effort I have found a combination of dll's (csfml/sfml) that seems to work... mostly .

I can display graphics and input seems to work fine and such. However I cannot get the audio part to do anything good. Whatever I do I seem to get an error: The program '[17952] dotnet.exe' has exited with code -1073741819 (0xc0000005) 'Access violation'. But only if I use the audio classes.

Some information:
I use the sfml.net bindings as compiled from github by me.
I use the csfml 2.5 dlls from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/eXpl0it3r/csfml/build/artifacts
I use sfml dlls (2.5.1) from https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.5.1/
I use .net core 2.1/Visutl studio 2017/Windows 10.

The following code gives the error. Not much to that.
using SFML.Audio;
using System;

namespace Test.Core
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SoundBuffer s = new SoundBuffer(".\\Alarm01.wav");
        }
    }
}

I have the same error on music. At the moment I'm using 64-bit dll with the any-cpu config, which works for graphics. I tried using x86 config with 32-bit dlls. But then it crashes out with no error at all. no exceptions, no nothing.

I might me missing something obvious here, but for the moment the forum or issue list did not provide me with an answer I could use.

Any help appreciated.
