Did you import the music into the media folder? If you didn't, that is probably the problem.

You're not loading it from the media folder, you've told the program that its in the project folder. (Where your executable is)

Change the line to Load sound "media/song1.wav",1 (Replacing "media" with the path for the file from your project folder)

Hope that helps.

Can you tell me the absolute path of the sound file, and your project folder? (By Absolute, I mean the whole thing from c:\)

Also double double double check that the file is actually called song1.wav.

Ok, so assuming your executable is in the Dodge game folder, you'd need to load the sound like this. load sound "media/song1.wav",1

Try loading the sound into a sound editing program like audacity and export it again as a new wave or mp3. Try to load an other wave sound and see if that works.

Try loading it using the absolute path (I wouldn't recomend this in a finished product, but to help us with the debug it'll be ok)

e.g.

load sound "c\program files (x86)\the game creators\dark basic pro\projects\my games\dodge game\media\song1.wav",1

There is a working load sound project attatched to this post. run it and see if it works.

If it works, try it again substituting my wave with yours.
if it wont work with your wave its your file.

if it doesnt work with either wave, its your db software and I recommend a re-install.

I'm pretty sure its something wrong with your install. It can do strange things when the install is screwed up.

I advise a complete reinstall of dark basic. update it to the latest version from the site(I think its 7.6) and make sure you have the latest version of directx 9.

hope you get it going

Just a random thought, but you are using a project file? (.dbpro)?

I know the executable would run from the temp folder if you are just loading the source from the .dba file, that would mess up any local paths used.

>edit<

Ignore that, we've already tried using absolute paths so it's not that.

Just to be on the safe side, check that the sound file is where DBP expects it to be with the file exist() command; and if that comes back as 1 (Yes, the file exists), then I agree with Kezzla that its a DBP installation problem and will probably be fixed with a reinstall.
