Hey everyone,

So I'm using SFML 2.0 and I'm having trouble loading and playing music files. Sounds work just fine however whenever I'm trying to load a music file (a .ogg for example) it seems to always give me this error:

Failed to open sound file "resources/orchestral.ogg" (Supported file format but file is malformed.)

I'm trying with the sound example using the latest version of SFML 2.0.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

What's your OS?

Windows 7 64 bit. I thought maybe the file was corrupted or something but it runs just fine in VLC. I tried some other .ogg files and the same thing happened.

Do you use the openal32.dll file which is provided by SFML?

I am yeah.

I tried a few things like re-copy over all of the .lib, .h and .dll files from extlibs but now I think I've just made it worse. I'm getting a "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application". (I'm using Visual Studio 2010 btw).

Not really sure what to do about this. I feel like I just made a really stupid mistake on my end though.

Delete everything related to SFML and restart from zero

I was afraid you were going to say that lol. I'll do that and see if that fixes it. Thanks!

I've got the same error 0xc000007b

Ah... I've copied the 64bit openal.dll over to my projectfile. That didn't work. So i tried with the 32bit files... That did work.
