Im using a song made by NGX Musical named "Tick Tack Macarena" in my dbpro project. Its an mp3 media, and dbpro reads mp3 media, but, for some reason, it loads, but dont sound, it just dont sound.
You can download the track in this page, http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=629296
so u can see if u can help me with my problem, because, maybe its the track which is making the problem.

Sooo, here is the code, its very simple.




Soo, plz, if someone know about this problem, or maybe want to help me to resolve it, plz post here, so, ty.

REMEMBER ME, IM YITZU

are you sure your speakers and everything are working. if yes try removing suspend key and put wait key. if this doent work email me at kuljot123@att.net. the reason i said email was i cant keep track of all the posts ii repled too. so this way you can be sure i read your reply and answer your question. by the way i see the code you included looks like a gosub. try to load and play the song in the open code not gosubs that might work.

It's not playing because of the bitrate. All my MP3's that I've ripped from my own CD's are 320Kbps and they also won't play in DBP. You'll need to re-encode them at a lower bitrate. I have not verified it, but I think 128Kbps is max bitrate that will play.

there's nothing wrong with the mp3 or the way you're playing it. once you call play music or loop music it'll play regardless of wait, wait key or suspend for key.

my hunch is it's tied to your other sound/volume "issues" mentioned recently; the whole "it's not remembering me" thread. so, before you play music, add "set music volume 100". leave your suspend key in place and see if you can hear it (in case you're setting volumes again somewhere else down the road...). if not, it's your speakers or something else outside of dbpro that's causing all your problems.

hey from volume mixer you might by chance have dpro muted.iv never tried playing music in a gosub.so i though that might have been the promblem. right now im thinking it is because you might have dbpro muted from the volume mixer if you have vista.

Edit: hey i tried loading and playing music while in a gosub. it did not play. so im pretty sureyou need to load and play either in the main program outside of gosubs or make a function. i may be wrong.

p.s. Make sure to assign a number to the bitmap. That might be stopping it from running. Also, make sure that it's the right filename. You're saying this:



Hope that helped.

That's what they WANT you to think...

YEP NOW I KNOW YOUR PROMBLEM. IT IS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT ASSIGN A NUMBER TO THE BITMAP IMAGE. AND Quirkyjim I THINK YOU POSTED C++ CODE. HEY YITZU IT SHOULD WORK IF YOU ASSIGN A NUMBER TO THE BITMAP. IF YOU WANT THE BITMAP TO DISPLAY RIGHT AFTER LOADING THEN THE CODE SHOULD BE LIEK THIS



IT WILL WORK NOW. YOURT PROMBLEM WAS NOT ASSIGNING THE BITMAP A NUMBERT. I ASSIGNED IT ZERO SO IT WILL DISPLAY AS SOON AS LOADING.

The bitmap code shouldn't effect the music playing. Lastly it's not necessary to assign a number to "load bitmap"
[Edit]
You should also be able to play music using gosub

but normally the program will terminate if you dont assign a number to the bitmap wont it. because of you load it without number how are you suppose to call it later.

I think your talking about load image not bitmaps they're two different commands. (correct me if I'm wrong...) Load bitmap only loads and temporary displays a image for one time use(on the current screen your on if you don't put in a number). Unlike images where you can load the image into a index where you can call it as many times as you want.

First, please turn the volume down. There's a reason why we don't like all caps here.

Second, it wasn't C++ code, it was a visual to show what I meant.

That's what they WANT you to think...

Anyway, ty a lot everybody for helping me here, ill tell u if the bitrate was the problem.
