Hello all,

I've got a button that's loading a sound and playing it. I want to get the volume of sound at each update which I think SDataEx will give me. So I have a loop that runs when the sound is playing and I'm printing out the data for SDataEx, but it always prints out 0.

Here's my code.

  
      if (ID==BTNCREATESOUND)  
          {      
                
                
              Filename fn;  
              if (!fn.FileSelect(FILESELECTTYPE_ANYTHING, FILESELECT_LOAD, "Load Sound")) return FALSE;  
                
              AutoAlloc<BaseSound> sound;  
              if (!sound) return FALSE;  
              sound->Init(5,5,5);  
              if (!sound->Load(fn)) return FALSE;  
                
              GeSndInfo sndinfo(sound);  
                
              AutoAlloc<GePlaySnd> playsound;  
              if (!playsound) return FALSE;  
                
                
              playsound->Open(sound);  
              playsound->Scrub(0, sndinfo.GetLength().Get());  
              SDataEx sounddata;  
                
              while(playsound->IsPlaying())  
              {  
                  GePrint("pos: " + RealToString(playsound->GetPositionEstimate()));  
                  sound->GetSampleEx(playsound->GetPositionEstimate(),&sounddata);  
                    
                  GePrint("L:"+RealToString(sounddata.l));  
                  GePrint("R:"+RealToString(sounddata.r));  
                            
                    
              }  
          }

I'm almost positive that I'm making a simple mistake, but I can't figure what it is.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I tested your code (with maxon_technoloop2.wav located in CINEMA ex utorials ) and it does work as expected; left and right sound samples have useful values.

Also, I think it's not necessary to call sound->Init(5,5,5);

Thanks for the response, Yannick. I tested the same file and it worked! I'm glad my code was right, but my sound file wasn't despite my best attempt to convert it to the correct type. I'm glad I was half right.

Thanks!

Dan
