[raudio] Null audio device backend when trying to initialize

[Patchap1]

Hello,

I was trying to add sound to my game using Raylib, but I can't hear anything. However, when I look at the console, it says that the sound and the music stream were loaded successfully (I even added code to show 0 if no sound is playing and 1 if a sound is playing). So I’m guessing I’m missing something to be able to hear it, or the sounds I’m using are incompatible. Can someone help me understand the problem, please?

@Patchap1 Did you try the audio examples? Do they work? If they work then issue could be in your code.
As per the shared code, everything seems fine... except that list of values in the log that I imagine you printf().

What do you mean by audio examples? And regarding the list of values in the log, yes, it is from the printf() function, and you can clearly see a line of 1, which means the sound was played but couldn't be heard.

What do you mean by audio examples?

@Patchap1 I mean the raylib audio examples included with the library. If you are on Windows, you can open the provided VS2022 solution and try them.

@Patchap1 You have Backend: miniaudio / Null, so with Null backend there is no sound. Try the examples first. What OS is that?

[gen2brain]

You can check two similar issues but on macOS mackron/miniaudio#750 and gen2brain/raylib-go#274. It can also happen on distros with non-standard file system layout because miniaudio will dlopen/runtime link the libraries.

[raysan5]

It seems the issue is out of scope of raylib and it can rely on OS configuration or miniaudio library.

Sorry I'm kinda new so I don't know how to use the exemples.
Can you explain please ?

AH ! Nevermind I found the issue, it was because I wasn't including miniaudio.h...
