Does anyone know what kind of audio file is required in LiveCode?? cuz ive tried mp3, aac, wma, m4a, and nothing seems to work. I just hear static when the sound is suppose to be playing :cry:

The LiveCode User Guide says,

"13.4Working with Sounds
In addition to playing back sound in a wide variety of formats using the player object, LiveCode has in-built support for playback of WAV, AIFF and AU format audio clips.
Important: You must set dontUseQT to true before you perform any movie or player
related action.
Note: We recommend you use the player object for playing audio as it supports a wide
range of formats and compression types. Use the audio clip when you need basic audio
playback on systems that do not have any of the 3rd party libraries supported by the
player object installed."

That User Guide is opened by clicking on the "User Guide" button on the splash screen of the "Start Center", which shows up each time you start LiveCode if it is checked to do so in Preferences.
