[SailfishDevel] Playing a wav in Sailfish

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi João

I have just made a little demo project, importing QtMultimediaKit 1.1,  
and a SoundEffect Component.

I added a Button component to the Column to play the sound when clicked.

My Demo works, I get a swish sound when the button is clicked.

You will find the code of my FirstPage at the bottom of this mail.  
Create a new demo project, and paste my code into the FirstPage.

Note I copied my wav to the pages folder (alongside FirstPage). Please  
substitute your own wav file - I grabbed the first one I could find on  
the train. Put you wav in the Pages folder.


Do you get any sound at all from the Emulator? For instance on a demo  
new project with the PullDownMenu you should get a distinct "click"  
sound when the menu opens.

On the known issues page  
https://sailfishos.org/wiki/SDK_Alpha_Known_Issues#Emulator I found  
this:

"The sound is not enabled in the Emulator. Fix: Shutdown the emulator;  
Open virtualbox manager; Pick "SailfishOS Emulator", Pick Settings,  
pick Audio, Enable audio (default driver). Accept. Start Emulator. The  
Pulley menus make a sound for testing purposes."

Assuming that you do get sound, do you have QtMultimedia installed?

Connect to the SDK by SSH and search for QtMultimedia with zipper:

I get this:

Repeat with the the Emulator:

If  you don't get anything like this then you will have to install  
QtMultimedia.
