Audio and sound

Soldier of infortune · Tue Dec 02, 2003 1:11 pm

I'd like to add a background music in my game Komando,
I use Linux with Audiere (the sound engine).
The Techdomo runs perflectly under Windows with sound. So i modify this code to my game source code.
But I have got a lot of error !

Have you got a piece a code that runs under Linux ?

Thanks in advance.

I've been having abit of trouble with Audiere, when I use it in more than one of my 'classes' it crashes. (I use Windows) But a suggestion would be to try another sound API... FMOD and BASS are ok.

Also, did you make sure to include the right files and link the library? (audiere.lib)

Hey all,

I had the same problem with audiere.So i decided to move to OpenAL.
It's really easy and gives you more control on your sound.
Here are some tutorials that may help you:http://www.devmaster.net/articles.php?catID=6

I've been using Audiere for a while and it works fine. You just gotta know how to call it correctly. You create an AudioDevicePtr and a sound object at the beginning of your code like so

Code: Select all

AudioDevicePtr audioDevice(OpenDevice());
OutputStreamPtr menu_music = 0;

And then somewhere in your code you need to load a sound in the object like this:

Code: Select all

menu_music = OpenSound(audioDevice, "supa-g1.ogg", true);

And then there's all kinds of calls you can make to a sound object but typically when you just want to play it somewhere you'll do this:

Code: Select all

menu_music->setVolume(MUSIC_VOLUME);
menu_music->setRepeat(true);
menu_music->play();

Audiere worked fine until I added the libraries to another class... even before I setup the device and stream it causes a heap of errors...
