Crash when trying to run HelloIntersection on OS X

Troubleshooting sound

Hello, I’m trying to run the HelloIntersection demo but it crashes due to its usage of sound:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm also using lwjgl 0.94 for the mac, as well as the latest CVS build. FYI, as indicated in this post, most sound file formats that are 16 bit have the bytes flipped on the mac (which uses big-endian to store certain information).

Ok, well, I fixed the crashing. It was because the source searches for “explosion.ogg” when it should be looking for “explosion.wav”.



However, there’s still that problem that I described earlier of not reading the sound correctly because of the format it’s in. Both the ogg and wav files are being read incorrectly (again, here’s the link as to why). So they sound very “staticy”, like white noise. This might not be a problem with jME but whatever jME is using to read these sound files.



What does jME use to read the sound files? LWJGL? Is it the same for ogg and wav files?
