Unknown wave header in file

[khamill]

Here is my error in Visual Studio 2005

Unknown wave header in file
Could not open audio stream for sound file: ../sounds/ophelia.mp3

When I run the 3dsound tutorial, the ophelia.mp3 file plays fine. However, when I put it into my code, I get the above error. BTW, my code plays back a .wav file fine, without any problems. It appears to be a mp3 problem.

I do the normal setup:

// start the sound engine with default parameters
engine = createIrrKlangDevice();

Then I try to play the file:

ISound* music = engine->play3D("../sounds/ophelia.mp3",
core::vector3df(0,0,0), true, false, true);

IrrKlang is finding the file, but it appears to have a problem with the header. Howvwer, this the tutorial file which plays back fine uner the tutorial project.

Any ideas on what I have screwed up here...

thanks

I think the problem is that irrKlang didn't load the ikpMP3.dll plugin. Did you copy it to your working directory or where your .exe is?

Thanks niko,

That's exactly what the problem was. It's working fine now.

thanks again
