[solved] Debug ok, but in Release mode no sound is played

Hello,

i have downloaded the version 1.04 from svn. First, i can confirm that the problem (crash) when creating a streamed sound is solved. The problem i have now is that the streamed sound plays in debug mode, but in release mode the sound is not played. I use the OgreOggSoundManager::playSound method to play the sound.

I am using VS 2008 SP1, Ogre 1.6.0 and boost_1_36_0. I have compiled the static vorbis / ogg libraries and the OgreOggSound dll using multithreaded (debug) runtime dlls.

One difference is that my 'debug' tests are executed in windowed mode with vsync enabled and the release mode tests run in fullscreen mode without vsync.

The log file doesn't mentions any problems. This is the OpenAL related part of the log file:

Any idea? I hope i haven't missed something obvious

Does the demo application work?

I've just tested a windowed, vsync-ed app and a fullscreen, non vsync-ed app in release without problems...

You don't have any sound hardware in the device list, strange

I don't really know what might be the problem, I'm using BOOST 1.34 but don't know whether anything has changed with the updated version, maybe try turning Threads off and trying again?

The problem was somewhere in my initialization code. I have searched for uninitialised variables and missing error handling code. Doing this ended in a rewrite of my application initialisation code.

With proper initialization the problem went away I cannot say what exactly the problem was, but i am sure it was my application's init code

Thanks for your help.

Excellent, great news!

Hope you find the lib useful

Hope you find the lib useful

Yes, the lib helped me a lot. I don't think that i would have accomplished multithreaded ogg file streaming in less than an hour without your library

Again, thanks and keep up the great work!!!
