I can't get it to work at all.




I don't know what is wrong.

Call dbLoopMusic() to play and loop and dbPlayMusic() to just play. I think the music resets itself to the beginning when dbPlayMusic() is called, so that might be your problem. Get rid of dbPlayMusic() in the code and tell me if it works.

#ifdef _DEBUG
FixBugs(All);
#endif

When you say you can not get it to work, are you saying that you can hear absolutely no music at all, as if the music file is not loading at all??????

Call the dbLoopMusic outside the while (LoopGDK()), otherwise it will always reset to the beginning. Place it right after loading the music. Also, there is no path to your music file, just the file name. Are you sure the program finds and loads it at all? Try giving it a complete path, or a path relative to where the EXE is started from.

The thing to remember is when you are debugging your code, you are actually residing in the directory where your source code files (*.CPP,*.H, etc) happen to be situated in.

When you load your music file with the line "dbLoadMusic ("music_triumph.mp3",1);", your program will be expecting that sound file to be in the same folder as your source code.

If you temporarily put that sound file in the same spot as your source code files, then when debugging (F5 key within the IDE), your code should find that sound file.

ALSO,

To become


If you want the music to play only once and not loop, then you would uncomment the "dbPlayMusic (1);", and you would comment out the "dbLoopMusic (1);".
