Sound how to?

[sader]

Hi, I am working with irrlicht just few days I and now I have a problem
- can't find out how to laod sound into scene.
No tutorial, no example, no result on forum search, no ISoundSceneNode wtf? Maybe I am just blind

I know with IRRLichtEdit ther's no problem to add sound but for few reasons I don't use this editor so I have to add everything via code

Irrlicht is just a graphic engine, so you can't play sounds with it : you'll have to use another library, like irrklang, audiere, openAL, ...

Download this read the tutorial on importing it into your compiler

Then

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <irrKlang.h>
using namespace irr;
using namespace audio;

int main(int argc, const char** argv)
{
  // start the sound engine with default parameters
  ISoundEngine* engine = createIrrKlangDevice();

  if (!engine)
    return 0; // error starting up the engine
 
  // play some sound stream, looped
  engine->play2D("somefile.mp3", true);

  char i = 0;
  std::cin >> i; // wait for user to press some key

  engine->drop(); // delete engine
  return 0;
}

irrklang is the sound library and is a brother of irrlicht well sort of Used in the xbox 360 for sound.
