Audio Wont Play

[zwebert31]

I am probably doing something rather stupid but i just cannot figure it out. I am new to this. Any help would be appreciated.
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
engine = [[Finch alloc] init];
snare = [[Sound alloc] initWithFile:
[[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"snare" withExtension:@"wav"]];
}

- (void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer *)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration *)acceleration {
    if (acceleration.z < -0.7)
        [snare play];
}

i have tried the same thing with the revolver sound class also, it has not worked

Looks fine. Are you sure it’s not the accelerator code? Do the events fire? Did you try playing the sound in response to touch, for example?

[zwebert31]

the event is firing i checked by updating a label under those conditions. I havnt tried it with a touch event but maybe I should try that next. could it be the sound in my simulator is not working?

[zoul]

Ah yes, definitely try on the device.

[zwebert31]

I havnt sprung for the dev license yet. I am testing the accelerometer over wifi. I might have to buy it now though I suppose.

[zoul]

Did you try the demo project? Does it work in your Simulator?

[zwebert31]

In fact it does work. So the simulator probaly isnt the problem

[zoul]

Can you mail me your project?

[zwebert31]

Yes. I feel dumb for asking but what would be the best way of going about that?

[zwebert31]

ok i just sent it

[zoul]

Take a look in the console (Cmd-Shift-R), Finch complains of sound initialization error. In your case the problem is in the sound file – Finch only supports 8bit and 16bit sample resolutions, whereas your sound has a 24bit sample resolution.

thank you sir. i really appreciate all the effort! it works now!
