[FIXED][Qt5] QSound won't play any sound

Arty.McLabin

@QSound soundTheme("warhorn.mp3"); //warhorn.wav won't work too ( i have both these files in there)
soundTheme.play();@

the dir of the files is right, as i also have a picture-loading label which loads a .png from the same dir, a line before QSound attempt.

also tried using QSoundEffect, won't produce any sound just as well.

note: i've connected multimedia to QT+= in my .pro and ran qmake, app output won't tell anything. the app runs, the only issue is that the audio simply won't launch.

Hi,

How did you run your application?

Note that QSound and QSoundEffect are old classes which cannot play compressed files (like MP3 files). See their documentation:

If you want to play MP3 files, use QMediaPlayer.

*thanks for the note, yet it's not about the mp3, wav won't work just as well.

also seems like i did fix it with the QMediaPlayer class, thanks for that.
