Just to put this out there, This is my first visual novel and I am a beginner.

My sound isn't working an I really hope you can help.
I tried everything that the Ren'Py Documentation told me to, but I really have no idea what I'm doing.
I know nothing is wrong with my sound system, because the main menu theme works.

My code: Help will be greatly appreciated!

You can try like this: If that doesn't work, you should either replace "music" with "sound", or change the file's extension.

I tried changing the file's extension and it use to be .wav now it's .ogg and neither of them work. I've tried all of that.
My actual code is this:

My actual code is this:

Code: Select all

define audio.two = "music/Rain/rain-window-04.ogg"
label start:
	play music "Music/None.wav"
....

        stop sounds
        play music two

The code looks like it should work, if the audio files are at the address given in the code.
'stop sounds' is wrong, should be 'stop sound', but does not effect music anyway.

Are you getting any error messages?

Have you tested if the audio file works in a different player?
Have you checked if the music channel is muted? Look under preferences.

if the files format is the source of problem, changing the extension wouldn't help, you need to convert the file with an audio convertor, try free or online audio convertor programs

Nope. Kia is right. This is wav-file, not .ogg, besides, it is partially damaged.
Try this.

convert your file and it should work fine, you can use an online convertor:

I tested your sound file with your code. Did not hear a thing.

Opened the file in Audacity and made the sound louder. Now the sound worked fine with your original code.

How much should I turn up the sound by..?

I did not fine tune it. In fact I turned the sound up way more than necessary. Sounded more like a train than rain. I did not note the number that I used when turning it up.

Go with trail and error to find the level you are happy with.
Always good to keep a copy of the original file if something goes wrong when working with the file.

Now the game just logs out when I try it?? What is going on??

make a new game isolate the code that you think is the cause of it and see what's breaking your game, then send the faulty code here for us to check
