Hi all,
I'm trying to play a simple sound for a game that I'm currently working on. I don't want to use SDL if I can help it and came across OpenAL. I found an example and tutorial for creating and playing sound without the alut header but I'm still having issues. The log output is fine, it's reading the file, knows the size and so on but nothing is played. I thought that maybe it was my game loop that was affecting it so created a new project with just the sound code to test and same result. any help is hugely appreciated. Thanks.
