Not playing sound from function

[robvleugel]

Hello,

I am having some problems with the sfml audio package. My code to load the sound is the code below:

#include <SFML\System.hpp>
#include <SFML\Audio.hpp>

void Playsound()
{
        sf::Sound sound;
        sf::SoundBuffer sbuffer;
        sbuffer.loadFromFile("boom.wav");
        sound.setBuffer(sbuffer);
        sound.play();
}

int main()
{
        Playsound();
        sf::Clock clock; while(clock.getElapsedTime().asSeconds() < 5) {}
        return 0;
}
 

If I move the code from Playsound() to main it works. It doesn't work from within a function.
I mean this makes it hard to play a sound isn't it, what am I doing wrong?

I guess I already figured it out.
Because I create the sf:Sound and sf::SoundBuffer within the function, these are local variables and are removed as soon as the code has been executed. Even while play() will play within a separate thread, this code will reference to a SoundBuffer that is not accessible, am I right?

So for my code to work I just have to make the sf::Sound(Buffer) objects part of the class that uses them.

Sorry for my post, guess I should've been more patient.

Greetings,
Rob

Hm I am still getting problems.
For instance, take the class below:

class AudioManager
{
private:
        sf::SoundBuffer m_soundbuffer;
        sf::Sound m_sound;

public:

        void Init();
        void PlaySound() {m_sound.play();}

};

void AudioManager::Init()
{
m_soundbuffer.loadFromFile("mysound.wav");
m_sound.setBuffer(soundbuffer);
}
 

This gives me a crash when I try to use it.
What am I doing wrong this time?


Kind regards,
Rob

There's probably a mistake in the code that you don't show.

And learn how to use the debugger, it exists exactly to answer this kind of questions

It was indeed an error in the code not being shown here, a realy stupid one so I'm glad I didn't post it
Thanks for the help anyway!


Kind regards,
Rob
