OGGs Not Loading

[gamecreator]

I tried to load the attached Ogg files with Sound::Load but both come back with "Error: Failed to load sound."  One was converted with Audacity, the other with an online converter.  Both play fine in WinAmp and Media Player Classic.  Thoughts?

1.ogg

2.ogg

Also, I guess while I'm at it, searching Ogg in the documentation returns "Nothing found" and Sound::Load only mentions Wav.

I have the same issue.

Try these - I converted them using Goldwave:

One is 48khz and the other is 44.1khz both mono at 240kbs

Not sure if Leadwerks can load ogg files. I'll double check that.

Efficient Game Packaging

When you're ready to publish, Leadwerks Editor will export your game using only the required files and save them into compressed zip files with strong encryption. Gigs of files can be reduced down to a few megabytes. And with support for Ogg Vorbis audio compression, your distrubutable can be made even smaller.

 

They really ought to fix the typo.  Distributable.

So I guess it supports ogg files.

Those both work.  Ok.  It's the bitrate.  The default 5 quality export in Audacity didn't work but exporting it at max (10) did.  Thank you for your help.

Edit:  Oh!  I think it may actually be the file size.  As if there's a minimum or it breaks.  I converted a longer audio but at an even lower quality.  It was 42kb but it played.  Josh, could a small enough file size break the ogg player code, like around 10k?  Could there be a minimum at some point?

I think it's the weird kbs actually.  The two samples were VERY LOW quality at like, 53kbs or something like that - a very obscure kbs.  You are better off with 120 or 240 - but a EVEN number - I believe that is important.

Also, pick either 44.1 (CD) or 48khz (DVD)

Unfortunately Audacity doesn't give me that option.  There's a Quality slider from 0 to 10.  I used 5 for first Ogg.  Maybe that's based on the codec used.  I may invest in Goldwave or something else when I really need to do this properly.

Goldwave is an excellent audio editor.  I use Wave and Sample Robot, Sony Sound Forge Pro and Goldwave for audio editing/sample editing and Samplitude Pro X3, Presonus Studio One Pro 3, Halion 5 Pro and Nuendo for multi-track audio editing and sound design.

Invest in Goldwave.  For how little it costs, you aren't going to get much better.
