C++ BASS Library - simple mp3 sample playing

Question

I have checked the BASS reference for a solution, but it was not to be found by me. My audio just does not want to play and yes, I checked if my speakers are working. Here is the "code":

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "D:\\Libraries\BASS\c\bass.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{   
    BASS_Init(-1, 44100, 0, 0, NULL);
    BASS_SetVolume(1);
    HSAMPLE sample = BASS_SampleLoad(false, "1.mp3", 0, 0, 1, BASS_SAMPLE_MONO);
    HCHANNEL channel=BASS_SampleGetChannel(sample, FALSE); 
    BASS_ChannelPlay(channel, FALSE); 
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

I tried really different initialization setting etc. Nothing seemed to be working. The '1.mp3' file is in the debug folder of my "app". Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Sample for playing must be of void* type. Try as I did:

//path to file 
string *filePath = new string("/home/user/Qt-Projects/bass/sample.mp3");

Function to reduct to type void* :

const void* getFile(string* file){
    return file->data();
}

And finish:

streamHandle = BASS_StreamCreateFile(false, getFile(filePath), 0, 0, 0);
