Author Topic:   SOUND HELP!!!!

Leprendun posted 10-08- 04:49 PM CT (US)
I'm creating a DMOD and I can't get the sound to work (.wav sounds). I have the sound in my directory, have the code
load_sound("WOOW1.WAV", 61);
entered in my start.c script, and have the code
playsound(61,11500,0,0,0);
entered in my other script. I used GoldWave to convert the .wav files into 8 bit, mono, unsigned files and still the sound doesn't work. Can ANYONE help me?

Try using 22050 instead of 11500.

Thanks, but that didn't work. On closer insepction (I ran the original Dink game), I realize that NONE of the wavs are playing. The midi's work fine, though. I don't think taht it's my computer because it will play wavs, but something set up wrong in the program or something. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I bet one of the wavs doesn't work, so in the START.C file its screwed up, and that makes all the rest not work. This kind of happened to me with a wav called smurf.wav
I still haven't figured out why it crashes the game.

Dink is probably having conficts with your sound card/drivers, or you have another program using wav's in the background. Updating your drivers and DirectX might work, depending on how much you want wav sound.
