I'm having a *little* trouble with sounds - playback quality is really bad (fine with media player) and ogg files don't play at all. I've just tried with some free files that I downloaded. Am I perhaps doing something wrong? I'm just calling LoadSound and then PlaySound. I'm tempted to just use the FMOD SDK, it comes with a nice C# wrapper.

Hmmm, FMOD also gives the same "tinny" sound with the default settings (Media Player is still okay). Maybe I need to play around a bit. At least ogg files work now though.

Doh, I'm an idiot - I was playing the sound in my game loop so the sound was being playing multiple times because I wasn't checking if the sound was already playing. All fixed.

Each time you bbPlaySound() it consume more 4k of memory even it is the same loaded sound. This bug does not happen with loop sound (run once). I use Audiere instead of bbSound until it fix in next version.
