sound

[carnia]

hi...i'm new, you tell me how play a file wav in irrlicht. o spend me a example. thank you

[jam]

Irrlicht is just a 3D graphics engine and thus has no sound component. If you want sound you have to use a sound API like Audiere, Fmod, Bass etc.

[carnia]

thank you, but i don't do it . you spend me an example as hello world whit sound

Check out the tech demo, that has sound in it.

I also would like to know how to use Irrlicht with sound, but I've looked at the tech demo, and although I enabled sound, I don't hear anything (my soundcard works perfectly).

[saigumi]

Well, sound really isn't really part of Irrlicht.

I'd try sample code from the audiere site and try logging to find out why Audiere isn't working.

[Acki]

Well, this is not really Irrlicht related !!!
Choose what sound lib you want to use (Audiere, FMod, OpenAL, etc.), work through the tutorials and check for a related forum !!!

why i don't hear anything from tech demo???????

[sdi2000]

try to use your debugger, sometimes it helps
we could not debug your application, we could give you only tips

[carnia]

I have not understood does not work

sound has been deliberately removed from the techdemo since version 0.10 in order to reduce download size of the engine.

Now if you just want to play a background sound or music (wav or mp3) I'd suggest using audiere. So follow these simple steps:
1. Download audiere:
http://audiere.sourceforge.net/
2. Uncompress the SDK and link your IDE-compiler properly to audiere's "include" and "lib" folders. (caution, if you're using Devc++ you'll need to get audiere's Devpak via its update feature)
3. Use the following code:

Code: Select all

#include <irrlicht.h>
	#include <audiere.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <windows.h> 	

	using namespace irr;
	using namespace audiere; 
	using namespace core;
	using namespace scene;
	using namespace video;
	using namespace io;
	using namespace gui;

	#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")
	#pragma comment (lib, "audiere.lib") 

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//	
	int main()
	{
		IrrlichtDevice *device = 0;
		device = createDevice(video:: EDT_OPENGL , core::dimension2d<s32>(800, 600), 32, false,false,false,0);		
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
	//initialize audio

	AudioDevicePtr audiereDevice;
	 OutputStreamPtr stream;

	 audiereDevice = OpenDevice();
	 if (!audiereDevice)
	  return 1;

	 stream = OpenSound(audiereDevice.get(), "./data/song3.mp3", true);
	 if (!stream)
	  return 2;

	 stream->setRepeat(true);
	 stream->setVolume(1.0f); // 50% volume
	 stream->play(); 

and finish your code for your app afterwards.
ps. Remember to place a copy of audiere.dll with your exe or you'll get errors.

Wow! thanks! This is exactly the guide I was looking for

glad it helped

why there is that error :

I tried it using DevC++, and downloading audiere via the update feature you mentioned.

I get the following errors and altough I've tried I don't manage to solve the problem:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__AdrOpenSound@12'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__AdrOpenSampleSource@8'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__AdrOpenDevice@8'
ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks
