[SOLVED] Qt Resources - Loading a sound from a ressource

[MaximumTrainer]

Might be this bug: https://github.com/SFML/SFML/issues/30

A fix is pending, you'll find the corresponding branch at the end of the discussion.

Thanks for the link Laurent, I read the discussion and will follow the progress.

In the meantime, I was able to get rid of the error by replacing the openal32.dll provided in 2.1 by the one found at :
http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html#download
I'll have to make sure I can use this dll in production but I think it is legit.

SFML rocks! A+

Yes, you can use it in production. SFML uses an older version of OpenAL-Soft, but the API never changes so you can replace it with this latest version. No problem.

Great to know!
Just curious, if the new OpenAL-Soft seems to fix this problem, why not include it in SFML? may be over my head here..  good luck

[Laurent]

It doesn't fix it, just seems to play more nicely with the ugly internals of sfml-audio in certain situations. It's SFML that needs to be fixed, not OpenAL

Got it! The proposition to had control of the AudioDevice to the user seems good. I'll wait for 2.2, during that time I'm using the other dll as a temporary solution.  Great project again, i'm gonna check to help with my limited c++ experience
