SFML Not Loading Audio Files

I am currently working on a game using OpenGL and C++ and wanted to start using SFML to implement audio. After some library linking aggravation, I got everything set up. However, SFML will not load audio files like shown in the tutorials.

The pertinent code so far is simply this:

#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
...
sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
buffer.loadFromFile("resources/LaserShot.wav"); // That is the correct directory

And I get this in our console output (the game continues normally)

Failed to open sound file "resources/LaserShot.wav" (couldn't open stream)

Am I doing something wrong?

Do you also have this in release folder? If you're running it in release mode it might not be able to find it if it's not in the release folder in a folder named the same

// That is the correct directory

No, it's not.

You can check the source here: https://github.com/SFML/SFML/blob/master/src/SFML/Audio/SoundFileFactory.cpp#L74

The file was not found. Plain and simple.

Check your current directory and make sure your path is relative to that.
