wav file not playing...

[Lindon]

so very odd set of wav files here - they load fine - they look like files in the sample editor - and the cursor moves along when I press a key - but they dont make any sound - is there some bit size that HISE wont play? i.e. 32-bit??

Oh good grief.... this will need fixing I think.

The reason these files wont play is their name is

FileName.WAV

in the sample map.....but rename them in the sample map to

FileName.wav

.and they play....this is just very very silly....

@Lindon ouch - that just caught me AGAIN....

@Lindon I always use lower case file names for everything, not just the samples.

yeah me too - but I get sent samples form customers - and they dont always play by the same rules....

surely this isnt a hard-to-fix issue?

@Lindon I‘m afraid we are relying on the file comparison supplied by the OS - and AFAIK windows is case insensitive but macOS and Linux aren‘t. I would just book that under the quirks of cross platform development.

yeah Im getting MacOS developed wave files called fileName.WAV and when I try and play it on my Windows development machine I spent an hour or two trying to work out why before I either remember this thread or find it in a search...

@Christoph-Hart By default macOS is not, but it's one of the formatting options to enable that. Sometimes Apple gives us the strangest choices, while making other decisions for us, lol.
