hey, i’ve been trying to implement sound into my game and it’s just not working!

thanks in advance

The sound System in blender 2.49b don´t work for me too. =/
I´m using windows version.

For me works fine, maybe your logic brick have some problem that dont play the sound to the end, but i never have a single problem with the sound on game engine.

You might have a Blender build that has been compiled with “mingw” and “GCC”. In these builds it does not work.
Try to get a Blender build that has been compiled with ‘scons’ and MSVC ( Microsoft Visual Studio) - either the official Blender build or from www.graphicall.org.

i’m running on mac, and there doesn’t seem to be such a thing for mac.

The OS X version of blender has had lots of problems with sounds.

I´m using the oficial build of blender 2.49b in Windows XP SP2 and the sound system don´t work. In Blender 2.48 work but 2.49b not.

You can use pyGame for the sound, but unfortunately the sound comes with 0.5sec slow down in 2.49
So i think 2.49 sound is totally borken.That is the reason I’m not using this version.

Is your file packed?

Well, the point is that it works on some machines and it doesn’t on others. It is not reliable to be used.

i got ubuntu 9.04, and no 2.49 sound problems. i had them in 8.04 though(really weird, in a runtime, if 3D sound was on, the doppler went up to max).

i also use windows XP sp2(or 3 or 4, i just know it’s not 1) on a regular basis and had no sound problems there. same build, official 2.49b.

edit: maybe it’s your sound card?

Is your file packed?
it does not matter, with relative reference or packed i have the same result, no sound.

maybe it’s your sound card?
My sound card is onboard in a Asus A8N-SLI and your sound chip is a “Realtek AC97” working fine in everything.

as Haidme said…

The sound system in 2.4x was horrible, and very picky about it’s audio formats. 2.5 has a much better sound system. However, in the meantime, I’ve found PyGame’s sound capabilities worked well.

Sometimes it matters. It will make difference to me if the guy respond to this question.

We still need to track the problem.

1)DrVonTrap: are you using 2.49, 2.49a or 2.49b?
2)Are you using Snow Leopard?
3)Is your .blend packed?

Thank you!
