QSound being partial

[been_1990]

I use a simple QSound::play . I created a playAlarm() function to start it, but all I get when I click the button is the annoying Vista sound "tã"!

here is the header:

#ifndef MYQTAPP_H
#define MYQTAPP_H
 
#include "ui_myqtapp.h"
#include <QString>
#include <QSound>
 
class myQtApp : public QWidget, private Ui::myQtAppDLG
{
	Q_OBJECT
 
public:
	myQtApp(QWidget *parent = 0);
	void playFor();
 
public slots:
	//void getPath();
	void doSomething();
	void clear();
	void about();
	void showTime();
	void playAlarm();
	void stopAlarm();
 
private:
    QTime currTime;
    QString currTimeText;
};
 
 
#endif

#ifndef MYQTAPP_H
#define MYQTAPP_H

#include "ui_myqtapp.h"
#include <QString>
#include <QSound>

class myQtApp : public QWidget, private Ui::myQtAppDLG
{
	Q_OBJECT

public:
	myQtApp(QWidget *parent = 0);
	void playFor();

public slots:
	//void getPath();
	void doSomething();
	void clear();
	void about();
	void showTime();
	void playAlarm();
	void stopAlarm();
	
private:
    QTime currTime;
    QString currTimeText;
};


#endif

here is the cpp:

myQtApp::myQtApp(QWidget *parent)
{
	setupUi(this); 
	connect( pushButton_do, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( doSomething() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_clear, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( clear() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_about, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( about() ) ); 
	connect( startButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( playAlarm() )); 
	connect( stopButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( stopAlarm())); 
 
	QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
     connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(showTime()));
     timer->start(1000); 
     showTime();
}
 
 
void myQtApp::playAlarm(){
  QSound::play("alarms/guitar.wav");    
}

myQtApp::myQtApp(QWidget *parent)
{
	setupUi(this); 
	connect( pushButton_do, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( doSomething() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_clear, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( clear() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_about, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( about() ) ); 
	connect( startButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( playAlarm() )); 
	connect( stopButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( stopAlarm())); 
	
	QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
     connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(showTime()));
     timer->start(1000); 
     showTime();
}


void myQtApp::playAlarm(){
  QSound::play("alarms/guitar.wav");    
}

but when I put that on the main function, the wav file works:

myQtApp::myQtApp(QWidget *parent)
{
	setupUi(this); 
   // QSound::play("alarms/guitar.wav");
	connect( pushButton_do, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( doSomething() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_clear, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( clear() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_about, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( about() ) ); 
	connect( startButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( playAlarm() )); 
	connect( stopButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( stopAlarm())); 
 
	QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
     connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(showTime()));
     timer->start(1000); 
     showTime();
}

myQtApp::myQtApp(QWidget *parent)
{
	setupUi(this); 
   // QSound::play("alarms/guitar.wav");
	connect( pushButton_do, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( doSomething() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_clear, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( clear() ) ); 
	connect( pushButton_about, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( about() ) ); 
	connect( startButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( playAlarm() )); 
	connect( stopButton, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( stopAlarm())); 
	
	QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
     connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(showTime()));
     timer->start(1000); 
     showTime();
}

Any idea why? Any help really epreciated! Thanks!

It looks right to me. What happens when you use an absolute path to the wav file?

[been_1990]

It looks normal, no compiler errors, but no sound comes when I call the function. Only that "tã" sound .

[JimDaniel]

Does it not work even if you put the sound on your root drive and call:

QSound::play("c:/guitar.wav");

QSound::play("c:/guitar.wav");

I'm asking because it seems like it might not be finding the file from the relative path.

Oooooops..... My bad! Just spotted the problem... I put a absolute path to it and now its all working. I had misspelled the audio file.
