Audio / Problem with sf::Music on loop with the latest SFML Version

« on: November 20, 2015, 06:01:06 pm »

Hey all,

We've updated our game on Github to use SFML as a submodule. The version of SFML that we were using before was SFML 2.2 and everything worked fine with the music loop in our level. With the new SFML version however, the music loop didn't run smoothly and when I looked into the logs, the following message appeared after every loop:

(click to show/hide)

An internal OpenAL call failed in SoundStream.cpp(435).
Expression:
   alBufferData(buffer, m_format, data.samples, size, m_sampleRate)
Error description:
   AL_INVALID_VALUE
   A numeric argument is out of range.

The code we are using to instantiate the music looks like this:

(click to show/hide)

// the music path references a .wav file
if (m_backgroundMusic.openFromFile(m_currentLevel.getMusicPath()))
{
                m_backgroundMusic.setLoop(true);
                m_backgroundMusic.setVolume(g_resourceManager->getConfiguration().volume);
                m_backgroundMusic.play();
}

Has anyone an idea why the AL check might fail? Any help is greatly appreciated.
