al_install_audio(3)

💖 al_install_audio — bestie, let's get you some SOUND 💖

okay so real talk, this is page al_install_audio(3) from the Library Functions Manual (Allegro 5 API, if you're keeping track 🎀) and it's literally the glow-up your program needs before it can make a single peep. no audio subsystem = no music, no sfx, just sad silent vibes 😭

✨ NAME ✨

al_install_audio — Allegro 5 API. that's it, that's the whole name, she's iconic and she knows it 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_install_audio(void)

look at her. no arguments, no drama, just a bool and a dream 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Install the audio subsystem. that's the whole assignment bestie 🫶 it's the "hello?? turn the sound on!!" button of the Allegro 5 API, and ngl you kinda need it before literally anything audio-related will work.

Returns true on success, false on failure. so like — vibe check the return value, fr fr, don't just call it and walk away 💀

Note: most users will call al_reserve_samples(3) and al_init_acodec_addon(3) after this. not me forgetting the acodec addon and then wondering why nothing plays 🙈 do it after, in that order-ish, and you'll be slaying.
