Title: No Sound on Mac
Post by: mdijkens on March 06, 2022, 03:35:46 am: Let me start by saying that I have absolutely zero knowledge or experience on Mac!

I'm trying to compile one of my qb64 programs I made on Mac
I followed the Mac install, nothing else.
I had to change most code that deals with filenames/paths (e.g. / instead of \ etc.)
The program runs without any errors now, but there is no sound.
After some small tests with _SndPlay & _SndPlayFile, I made it even simpler by testing Beep and Play("cde"), but No sound at all is generated?
I also tested youtube in the browser to see if the laptop could produce sound at al or if sound was muted or not configured, but youtube sounds fine.

Is there something on Mac that I forgot/need to do to have sound in qb64 compiled programs?
Again, I have zero Mac knowledge so maybe even something very basic is needed?

Post by: mdijkens on March 14, 2022, 10:04:21 am: I just found out via a youtube video about installing on Mac that on Big Sur Apple deprecated OpenAL library; so no sound om Mac Big Sur.

Is there any plan/idea how to support sound on Mac again in the (near) future?

Also, I do think this should also be noted on: https://wiki.qb64.org/wiki/Keywords_currently_not_supported_by_QB64#Keywords_Not_Supported_in_Linux_or_MAC_OSX_versions
