Trouble with OGG audio on OSX (1.7.6)

by Luis E Pabon · in Torque Game Builder · 06/08/2012 (9:38 pm) · 4 replies

I switched all the audio in a game project from .wav to .ogg to save space. It works like a charm on my PC, but on the Mac it doesn't play any audio. I'm using the PSK, so I had to rebuild the project on both platforms. I had not tested the .ogg on OSX prior to rebuilding.

Am I missing something here?

There's many complaints on ogg and ogv playback with and without fixes. The one worth trying is this

Reply there please if it'll work for you. Working solutions worth being brought up from time to time.

Thanks, that helped me fix the issue.

My problem was that I am running Xcode 4.3.2, which does not include the GCC compiler (the LLVM-GCC hybrid does not work with ogg). I installed 4.1 on a separate location, then built the game using that. Works like a charm.

Hello,

I am having the same issue with .ogg

I am new with OSX and Xcode. It took me a week !!! to fix the fullscreen's issue ( http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/129341 )

How can I install Xcode 4.1 like Luis did ?
The apple store does not propose it, does it ?

I feel like a noob at the moment :(

You should be able to download 4.1 from: developer.apple.com/xcode/

Actually installing it without overwriting the newest version was a bit of an ordeal, but it's doable. I don't have the guides I used at hand, but look for a way to install it to your desktop, as I did.
