i think this should work

main.cpp.sln

The problem is this, you've mixed up Linker->Input and C/C++ Preprocessor.

This needs to be like my screen shot:

Remove ONLY SFML_STATIC from Linker->Input FOR ALL CONFIGS

Then under C/C++ add it like above under All Configs.

Should fix your issue!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

So, first I added the executable directories:

Then, the library Directories:

Then, I added my Extra Includes:

Then, added additional library directories:

Note, the SFML folder must actually be in this location....

Then, I added my dependencies:

Note: -d for debug, and regular old sfml-audio.lib for release.

Done, I think? It was very recently I did this and I hated the process tbh.
