so i tried to use the sound functions of the DarkGDK but no use so far. I can run a MP3 easy enough but here is what i do.

dbLoadSound("collision.wav", 10);
dbPlaySound( 10 );

If i did this my animated sprite would not work. but my animated sprite is loaded into slot 3 not 10. So i added a check to make sure it exists before attempting to play.

if (dbSoundExists( 10 ))
dbPlaySound(10);

now all sprites work fine but the sound does not play. I downloaded a WAV editor and saved to a new name thinking maybe my type of WAV was wrong.... still no good. The sound will not load or play.

Perhaps you call the dbPlaySound(10); every loop so that it just appears like it doesn't play, because it gets "replayed" every frame and thus doesn't have the chance to become audible. Hard to tell with only that code to go by.

no what happens is when something collides with the ship it hides the ship sprite, displays an explosion and is supposed to play the sound. if i dont check if it exists before attempting to play it the explosion sprite wont display.if i put in the check it just doesnt play.

Try out a smaller code using only what appears to be faulty to see whether it only fails in your current project (in which case you have probably done something wrong yourself) or if it will not work no matter which circumstances (in which case there would be something wrong with the library).

Try something like this:



-> Oh, come on...
