snd_sfx_load and unload, garbled sfx

[PrOfUnD Darkness]

My code looks like this (simplified):

int sfx;
int c = 1;

main()
{
while (1) {

if (c==1) sfx = snd_sfx_load("/rd/1.wav")
else if (c==2) sfx = snd_sfx_load("/rd/2.wav")
else if (c==3) sfx = snd_sfx_load("/rd/3.wav")

c=playgame();

snd_sfx_unload(sfx);

}
}

int playgame() {

// do a bunch of stuff here
snd_sfx_play(sfx);

// do a bunch of more stuff here

return random; //random is between 1 and 3
}

The first snd_sfx_play works just fine, but after that the sfx comes out garbled. Is there any problem in keeping unloading and loading the way I'm doing?

In my personal opinion it is not a good idea to unload sfx continuously. Just load all the files upfront and depending on the value of 'c', play the correct sfx.

Yep that's how I fixed it, my concern is that we have less than 2Mb of memory to work with and I'd like to streamline the memory usage. Thank you for your response.

I dont think that is something you have to worry about too much. You have to have a ton of sfx for that to happen. Glad it works for you
