QSound and the resource file

[pip010]

Yes, please, someone please give a clear example of sucha basic thing anyone expects .....

How much more clear does it need to be? As Lykurg said, QSound can only play content from files on disk, it cannot play sounds encoded in the program's resources.

//I know the following works
QSound::play("C:/sound.wav");

//I know the following works
QSound::play("C:/sound.wav");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You need to give QSound the name of a disk file that has sound encoded in .wav format, and the file needs to be able to be found at run time - either it is in the program's current working directory or the location is specified using an absolute path (like the example above).

Sorry d_stranz, You're wrong. Maybe it was true 8 years ago (the thread is from 2009). Today QSound plays files from resources with no problems. I use this in several applications.

My mistake. I'm looking at the docs for Qt 5.4 and it doesn't mention resource files at all, only "sound files", and the examples in the docs use disk file names, not resource file names. So it seemed to me that the situation hadn't changed.
