QSound being partial

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:

Code:

---

#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:

Code:

---

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:

Code:

---

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?

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

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

Code:

---

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. :p :o
