Playsound

[Hemlos]

Playsound seems to be broken?
I even tried the playsound sample project...not working.


Edit:
@Gernot:
I didnt realize i needed to click the mouse to start the sound  in the sample
Also, thanks to nik and ian they helped me figgure out my .wav i needed to convert it to pcm 44khz 16 bit to get it working.

Summary of this entire thread is, you dont need to read all this...youve been gone a few days and probably dont have time for alot of reading.

I here the IMAX sound in the Playsound example...

[Hemlos]

Well i tried mp3's and wav's and nothing is playing

plasymusic plays my files....what the heck is going on here

[MrTAToad]

Got any example code ?

[Hemlos]

I even tried the playsound sample project...not working.

Sample in samples/media/Playsound.gbap

[MrTAToad]

Both the PlayMusic and PlaySound demos are fine here - If you've been using your own MP3's, can you make one available ?

[Hemlos]

I used the sample wav, im just trying to get sound going, and im using what is basic.

What platform os are you using your sample on?

[Hemlos]

I built a new sample....i think it should work....it loads but it wont play.

I'm using Windows 7 x64

I presume you're on XP - so I'll try it on that too.

[Hemlos]

yes xp
im in the process of reinstalling my sound drivers....sigh

Let me how my sample works for you.....by the way i added GETLASTERROR$() to my project here, and it returns 0000 success

[MrTAToad]

Yes, it wont play here.

It looks like the WAV isn't in the required format - need to get it converted to (probably) PCM format...

But first, will need to find an appropriate program to do so

[Hemlos]

Just replace it with one you know works....like the glbasic sample.
The glbasic sample wont play on my xp.....

compile the glbasic sample on your xp and try that wav/exe

I think it's the audio format that has a problem here - I couldn;t hear anything until I re-coded the .WAV to PCM 22.050 Mhz, 8Bit Stereo. GLB then played it properly.

Hope that helps.

[Hemlos]

Awesome thank you two.

I really appreciate your help.

[MrTAToad]

wHat program did you use to recode it?
