Here is a video of the issue with the Corona public release on Windows 8 - 64 bit running the AudioPlayer sample code. In the video I demonstrate the audio not playing in Corona simulator, and then the audio playing via Windows Media Player. The audio of course works fine on the device.
Again I have this issue on every single project now.

@devephant, We just verified that the latest Corona build plays the audio sample apps on Windows 8, 64 bits.
If you noticed that audio stopped working with a daily build and you went back to the release build 971) and it still doesn’t work, something must have changed in your audio system to affects the audio. Corona uses OpenAL and may take a different audio path than the Media Player app. You could try reinstalling Corona but it sounds like the real fix is figuring out what changed in your system to cause the audio problem to occur.
As a test you could trying running the EventSound sample app. On Windows this will beep one time (it should be once a second but it doesn’t because of a Simulator bug). This goes through a different audio path (not OpenAL) and could indicate if the OpenAL path is causing the problem. This test is more for informational purposes because we really don’t think anything is broken in Corona’s audio engine.
As I mentioned before, no other users are saying that Corona audio is no longer working. The 971 release build has been out since December without any issues in this area and we know a lot of users are using Windows 8.
Bud, can you also try to build the “EventSound” sample app too?
Also, can you on your Mac run either the “System Information” app if your on OSX 10.8 or “System Profiler” on OSX 10.7 or earlier. You can run it by clicking on the Magnifying glass (Spotlight) in the top left and typing in the application’s name.
Once it starts up, do a File->Save As and then email the .spx file that it creates to:
support AT coronalabs DOT com (changing the AT to @ and the DOT to .)
I can’t find the application name in the magnifying glass yuo mean my app name right because I am trying the new build but it is the same as develphant?
Hi Bud,
The utility that Rob mentions is located here on your Mac: Applications > Utilities > System Information (or System Profiler on 10.7).
