Sound not played through left speaker

[Babbzzz]

Hello

I am writing a program to play audio only through the right earphone. The code is below. Why is it not working? Audio plays through both.

#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
using namespace sf;

void playSound() {
    SoundBuffer Buffer;                            
   
    // Load a sound buffer from a wav file

    if (!Buffer.loadFromFile("right.wav"))                  
        cout << "ERROR!" << endl;
   
    sf::Listener::setPosition(10.f, 0.f, 5.f);
    sf::Listener::setDirection(1.f, 0.f, 0.f);

    // Load a sound buffer from a wav file

    Sound Sound(Buffer);                                    
    Sound.play();                                          

    // Loop while the sound is playing

    while (Sound.getStatus() == sf::Sound::Playing) {      
       
        sf::Time t1 = sf::seconds(0.1f);
        sf::sleep(t1);

        // Display the playing position

        cout << "\rPlaying... " << endl;
    }
}

int main() {
    playSound();
    cout << "Done" << endl;
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Is your sound file mono or stereo?

To underline what Laurent said:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.2/audio-spatialization.php#spatialized-sounds-are-mono

Also, you may want to consider setting a position for the actual sound (you have altered only the listener).

Thanks for the heads up. I converted the audio to mono using Audacity but the problem still persists. Just to give a little more scenario. I am using Sublime Text and compiling using g++.

I changed the code to what is seen below. Still no change.

    sf::Listener::setPosition(0.f, 0.f, 0.f);
    sf::Listener::setDirection(1.f, 0.f, 0.f);
    sf::Sound::setPosition(10.f, 0.f, 0.f);
    sf::Sound::SetRelativeToListener(true);

The sound is right in front of the listener, so I'm not surprised it is heard equally on left and right speakers

To clarify,

    sf::Listener::setDirection(1.f, 0.f, 0.f);

means that the listener is "turned to the right".
The position of the sound is relative to the listener but the orientation is not.

Thank you all for your help.

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I got it working on an ARM board like I wanted.

Cheers!
