Do Sound Files have to be a certain format?

I've loaded a .wav which plays on my pc just fine but wont play in blitz3d, I then converted it to an mp3, plays fine on my pc but wont play in blitz3d.

I was wondering if sound files have to be a certain bit rate?

Any help would be appreciated... again.

Thanks.

Interesting, I suppose they do, 8 bit mono doesnt work, 16 bit mono does.

Ok, nevermind that, I just played an 8khz, 8bit mono file too.

I dunno...

Maybe something wrong in your code? I can play here all sorts of wavs and mp3s without any problem...

Try this:

mySound=LoadSound("sound.wav") 
SoundVolume mySound, 0.5
myChannel=PlaySound(mySound) 

With the wav on the same path as this program. If that doesnt work, then I dont know :P

Thank you for the help, I am using similiar code, as basic as I can in fact. I'll keep pluggin away at this and see what I come up with.
