[Audiere-users] No sound :(

[Sebastian Alff]

Hi!

I just downloaded audiere and wrote a simple program based on the tutorial
from the doc directory.

AudioDevicePtr device = OpenDevice();
if (!device) {
Error();
}

OutputStreamPtr stream(OpenSound(device, "test.mp3", true));
if (!stream) {
Error();
}
stream->setRepeat(true);
stream->setVolume(1.0f);
stream->play();

I use GCC, link against the audiere.lib and the audiere.dll is in the
executable's directory. But unfortunately I hear nothing. Can someone help
me?

regards
-Sebastian

I guess the program terminates immediately after you call play. The
stream runs asynchronously, i.e. in a separate child thread. This
means that if you leave the main thread, the stream stops playing,
too.

Try something like

while( true )
{
// do nothing
}

after you call "play", or a

while( stream->isPlaying() )
...

in case you have a non-repeating sound.

By the way, your name sounds German; if you speak German, you may
have a look at this forum thread, where I answered exactly the same
question some days ago:

Hi!

You're right, I am German and that was exactly the problem. It works fine
now :).
Thanks a lot for your help
