game crashes when trying to play any sound on windows

[lol4meh]

today i was planning to add some sound effects to my game but everytime i used FlxG.sound.play() or FlxG.sound.playMusic() the game would crash when trying to execute any sound related lines. weird thing is, this happened only on windows and when i tried playing the sound effect when i compiled the build in html5 it worked completely fine. even the snippet for FlxSound crashed when built on windows, but worked completely fine on html5. dunno how to fix this, would be greatly appreaciated to know the issue. here is the snippet i used:

package;

import flixel.FlxG;
import flixel.FlxSprite;
import flixel.FlxState;
import flixel.math.FlxMath;
import flixel.text.FlxText;
import flixel.ui.FlxButton;

class PlayState extends FlxState
{
	override public function create()
	{
               super.create();

		var soundtest:FlxButton = new FlxButton(0, 0, "play jumpscare", playjumpscaresound);
		soundtest.screenCenter();
		add(soundtest);
	}

	function playjumpscaresound()
	{
		FlxG.sound.play("assets/jumpscare.ogg");
	}
}

to note: when opening it in a debug windows build, it gives the error "uncaught exception: null access" after crashing. hopefully this helps.

In your project xml see if you have an asset tag that omits .ogg files on specific targets

not seeing anything obvious, I'll take a closer look on monday, when I can

alright, thank you for helping :)

its been quite a while now, and i have mainly forgotten about this discussion, but just to ask: have you found the source of the problem? i tried it again as im writing this and the sound crashing problem is still occuring.

I tried your project, sorry for the delay. it doesn't crash for me, but the sound doesn't play, for some reason openfl finds that the asset exists and tries to load it, but fails to do so. I tried opening your sound in audacity, saving it as a new file and trying that, it also didn't work. I grabbed a sound from another project and tried that, it worked. I have no idea what's going on with that sound but lime says it exists but NativeCFFI.lime_audio_load_file(path, audioBuffer) returns null. This may be why it's crashing for you

Passing the buck onto lime since this isn't a flixel problem. For a short term fix I think you should use a different sound since the one your using seems corrupted or something.
