It play .wav file ok.
How can I play.ogg and *.caf?
Thank you.
What implementation are you using to play .wav files ?
I can confirm AVAudioPlayer can play .caf files. Reading a few threads here and there, it should also be able to play .ogg files.
I’m using CocosDenshion in cocos2d-2.1beta3-x-2.1.1.
.caf files should play alright on iOS, see http://www.cocos2d-x.org/projects/cocos2d-x/wiki/Audio_formats_supported_by_CocosDenshion_on_different_platforms
If you have a problem, please post more informations : some snippet of code to replicate the problem, a precise description of the problem, some error logs …
I think its a bit of a pain that each platform requires different formats.
Are we supposed to wrap every call to play/preload a sound effect with a TargetPlatform check?
I’m using a .wav but that does not work (or sounds funny) on some android devices.
Does .ogg work on all android devices?
What about on windows, I assume you would need to have a ogg codec installed?
Afaik ogg currently does not work on windows. According to http://www.cocos2d-x.org/projects/cocos2d-x/wiki/Audio_formats_supported_by_CocosDenshion_on_different_platforms ogg is supported on android. Personally I think that cocos2d-x needs some truly multiplatform solution for ogg support. There is a free public domain decoder for ogg writen in C http://www.nothings.org/stb_vorbis/ I did not use it but it looks promising. It would be great if it or something similar could be included in cocos2d-x and wrapped with some easy to use api.
What I have seen so far, the main difference in Cocos2d-x is the filenames (.ogg vs. .caf)
That seems pretty easy to get around, just loading the right sound effect name for the platform?
Is there a bigger issue at hand?
Yes you could use different formats for different platforms, but it would be much better if there was a format (preferably ogg because its free, uses quite good compression and its rather a standard nowadays) that works on all platforms out of the box.
I agree to Leszek Leszek.(It would be much better if there was a format (preferably ogg because its free, uses quite good compression and its rather a standard nowadays) that works on all platforms out of the box.)
ogg format won’t work on iPhone so I convert wav to caf.
I use shell command “afconvert f caffd ima4 filename” but result sound seem like lost quality.
What is best way convert to caf, not lost mush sound quality and compress like ogg?
