I have checked the BASS reference for a solution, but it was not to be found by me. My audio just does not want to play and yes, I checked if my speakers are working. Here is the "code":

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "D:\\Libraries\BASS\c\bass.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{   
    BASS_Init(-1, 44100, 0, 0, NULL);
    BASS_SetVolume(1);
    HSAMPLE sample = BASS_SampleLoad(false, "1.mp3", 0, 0, 1, BASS_SAMPLE_MONO);
    HCHANNEL channel=BASS_SampleGetChannel(sample, FALSE); 
    BASS_ChannelPlay(channel, FALSE); 
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

I tried really different initialization setting etc. Nothing seemed to be working. The '1.mp3' file is in the debug folder of my "app". Thanks in advance!

    Check the result of each function call. If any fails, that should tell you what's going wrong. – Mike Seymour Sep 26 '14 at 22:26
  • BASS_Init returns 'true', so according to the reference it is working, however, it turns out that BASS_SampleLoad returns '0'. How is that, tho? Tried it with several mp3/wav files and was the same. – Bizarre Sep 26 '14 at 22:31
  • Checked it which BASS_ERROR flag it is on the BASS_SampleLoad call, and it says that it's the BASS_ERROR_FILEOPEN (can't open the file). Can't see why, tho. Reference says that it supports my file extension, and the music plays normally through another soft. – Bizarre Sep 26 '14 at 22:40

    Perhaps wherever you've put the file isn't the working directory when the program runs. Try giving the full path. – Mike Seymour Sep 26 '14 at 22:43
  • It is not that. Went through it several times, changed the directory, wrote the full path, but the error remains unchanged. – Bizarre Sep 26 '14 at 22:45
  • is "BASS_ChannelPlay" supposed to return immediately, if so, can you see the threads BASS opened? Where's your BASS shutdown code? (Maybe after a reboot it's going to play?) If "BASS_ChannelPlay" is not supposed to return immediately, your `system("pause");` is not necessary. – St0fF Sep 26 '14 at 23:06
  • In what I understand it is supposed to return it as soon as u call it. The problem lies within the file reading part. – Bizarre Sep 27 '14 at 08:55
  • Tried out to CREATE a sample at a default frequency, and it does play normally with that code. I just don't know what to do to get the file loaded. – Bizarre Sep 27 '14 at 09:48

Sample for playing must be of void* type. Try as I did: 

//path to file 
string *filePath = new string("/home/user/Qt-Projects/bass/sample.mp3");

Function to reduct to type void*:

const void* getFile(string* file){
    return file->data();
}

And finish:

streamHandle = BASS_StreamCreateFile(false, getFile(filePath), 0, 0, 0);

  • This is incorrect. The [documentation page](http://www.un4seen.com/doc/#bass/BASS_StreamCreateFile.html) shows you can use literal for file name `HSTREAM stream=BASS_StreamCreateFile(FALSE, "afile.mp3", 0, 0, 0);` – Killzone Kid Jul 31 '18 at 11:05
  • @KillzoneKid thank you I had been look for the docs page for a while – wij Aug 18 '22 at 23:16
