No sound though all seems correct

[trinistry_]

Hello,

I have a weird Problem. The code:

Code: [Select]


sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
if (buffer.LoadFromFile("assets/sound/bonk.wav")) {

sf::Sound sound;
sound.SetBuffer(buffer);
sound.Play();
std::cout << "sound status: " << sound.GetStatus() << " sound duration: " << buffer.GetDuration() << std::endl;
}


produced output:

Code: [Select]

sound status: 2 sound duration: 0.767574

As far as I know, status 2 is "playing". There is no error or warning in linkage nor in compiler. But I do not hear anything (and yes, the sound plays in media player for example, my boxes are turned on etc...)

I am using SFML 1.6 and VS Express 2010 on Windows 7. I recompiled the sfml-dlls (not the libsndfile-1.dll and the openal32.dll - is this the reason?).

Target is "debug".

Is there anything I am missing? Could it be that the wrong sound device is taken or something?

Please help! Thanks!

I think the sf::Sound instance must stay alive as long as the sound is played.

Argh! Sure you are right.

Sorry for stupid question and many thanks for support!

When I use that code I get an error

Code: [Select]

   sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
    if (buffer.LoadFromFile("sound/laugh.wav")) {

       sf::Sound sound;
       sound.SetBuffer(buffer);
       sound.Play();
    }
