i'm using VC++ 6.0 to build a shooting game and i need to know how to play two wav file at a time. One for the background music and the other for the shooting sound ....
Playing a single sound file is straightforward ( there are numerous examples in forums etc) but if you aim at multiple channels, things get more complicated. At least on some Series60 devices you will have to mix the sound streams yourself.
Can i use this CoeSoundPlayer : cause i saw that there is this PlaySoundNow() -> Plays the specified sound, interrupting any other sound that is currently playing. Or CMdaAudioOutputStream : SetAudioPropertiesL() that changes the sample rate and number of channels.
I very new in using C++ so i not very sure how this function works.... or how to use them......
Hi, I followed Zeep's tutorial, and made mixing done in two days. Even I ported my PC mod player into EPOC.
The task is very similar to sound players for old SoundBlaster cards, where you had to set up single circular playback buffer using DMA and feed it with data. Of course, settings are different, but principle is the same.
It's even easier that you have to deal only with 16 bits (no 8-bit sound hw support).
Thank you
