SFML audio not working win7 prof x86

[jeremyspk]

Hi

I'm trying to write a music looper with multiple tracks to create mixed and layered music and so I gave a shot at SFML.

Here's the sample code i used:

Code: [Select]

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

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Welcome" << endl;
//Load music
sf::Music musik;
if (!musik.OpenFromFile("rockdrums.wav"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;

musik.Play();

cout << "End..." << endl;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

It compiled and linked successfully.
However, it does not play my .wav and instead:
1) Prints garbage on the console
2) Plays a beep beep beep sound repeatedly
3) At times crashes itself quickly and other just stop responding to my CLOSE

So, um, that doesn't sound quite right, and that code you are using should almost immediately exit so you can't hear much of the sound.

What compiler do you use? DO you mix debug and release? Do you use the OpenAL DLL provided with SFML?

@onilink10
Why is that so? If I want to try out to play a .wav file, what then should I write?

[jeremyspk]

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 C++ and creating on a Win32 console app.
What do you mean by "mix debug and release"? I'm on 1.5 SFML. Everything compile and links awesome, and i'm using the .dll files provided by SFML. OpenAL i took it from SFML's extlib, together with the libsnd-1.dll.

But i get the garbage (matrix-like-flooding) on my console and beeping sounds. What's going on?

* To re-iterate, I'm on a Win7 Pro x86.

What do you mean by "mix debug and release"?

I mean linking to SFML release libraries in your debug configuration.

[jeremyspk]

I'm sorry LAurent, I've no idea what you're talking about. I only started using this IDE recently. I'm on debug mode if you're asking about that.

Okay here's what I did to prep the environment:
1) According to the tut, I put my include folder (SFML) to become  VC/include/SFML
2) threw all the lib contents into the VC/lib folder

The clock example worked flawlessly.

But this code don't. Anything that does with vid or snd don't, so far.

[jeremyspk]

and yes, I place the .dll files on the same folder (debug) as the executable. anyway, it'll warn me if I don't have the files.

[Laurent]

I'm talking about this

Important: for the Debug configuration, you have to link with the debug versions of the libraries, which have the "-d" suffix (sfml-system-d.lib in this case). If you don't, you may get undefined behaviours and crashes.

If you don't know what it refers to, have a look at the tutorial, there are screenshots and detailed explanations.

Okay thanks Laurent, I think I missed that portion. I'll go try fix it again.

THANK LAURENT IT WORKED.
