Music won't work at all
« on: September 23, 2012, 10:40:26 pm »
Hi, on my game the sf::Music class doesn't seem to be working at all. I get no errors, and my path to the file is correct, but no music is being played. Here's some of my code:

//Main music
sf::Music m_mainMusic;

//Load mainMusic into memory and set some propertie    
m_mainMusic.openFromFile("Resources/japanesemusic.ogg");    
m_mainMusic.setVolume(50);  
m_mainMusic.setLoop(true);    
m_mainMusic.play();

It won't work at all, and I tried using sf::Sound and soundbuffer as well and they didn't work either. Any suggestions?

'Stupid' questions: Does your audio driver work? I mean can you listen to music with any other application? Or is the default device set wrongly? ;)

Yes, I tested it out the file with Windows Media Player and the sound file worked fine.

Hmmm, have you tried it with another file than OGG?

The mp3 format is not supported by SFML.

Is there a message on the standard output (i.e. console)? Do you even check whether loading succeeds?

Just tested, it loads correctly, but still won't play the sound. Very frustrating.

Can you show a complete and minimal code that reproduces the problem?

Is `openFromFile` returning true?
