You need to use an audio API to get sound in. There's one from the Irrlicht developers called IrrKlang which may be a nice one to use. Personally i've used Audiere and got on very well with it. There's also OpenAL aswell and probably many others i've forgotten!

Thankyou for your help. ive loaded an irrklang sound into irredit and put the irrklang header into irrilicht. the sound isnt loading yet though, is there anything else i have to do.
Thankyou

You need to register the klang scene node factory with your scene manager so the scene manager knows how to create the new scene node types.

Thankyou

Last problem (i promise lol), i have an heart on my irredit map with a heartbeat sound but when i type the position on irrilicht that i got of the irredit map, it says the file exited and doesnt play the sound. I can only play the sound like a background sound but i want the effect is when it goes closer to the heart it gets louder. Sorry if its basic but iam a newbie lol

Thankyou for your help

Yeah, I don't really know. I haven't used IrrEdit or IrrKlang.

Use irrKlang's 3d sound feature. I haven't experimented much with it, but it will do what you want.
