SLADE v3.1.1.1 - Audio Won't Play

Note: I wanted to post this on the Slade forums, but for some reason, I wasn't getting an email or activation code.

So, a few days ago, I got the newest version of SLADE and tried to play some music through it. However, the music wouldn't play and neither did any other sounds or audio.

I don't know the cause of this problem or a way to show you what is the problem. If you do have a way to let me give you info about this and show you what's happening, please tell me ASAP.

Well, did you set up a soundfont in Preferences?

Do you have all the required DLLs in the SLADE install directory?

There should be libsndfile-1.dll and openal32.dll for playing sounds in general, libfluidsynth.dll for playing MIDI though you can do without, and FreeImage.dll for displaying graphics.

Are you sure that you need libsndfile-1.dll?

The other three dlls are included in the 3.1.1.1 download but not libsndfile-1.dll,
and general sounds (mp3, ogg, etc) play just fine.

Once a time I heard SLADE3 needs WiMP (Windows Media Player) to play general audio files on Windows. :/

I didn't have a sf2.
Though, I'm looking for a recommended sf2 file. Do you guys know one I should use?

My go-to soundfont is ChoriumRevA.sf2.

Other good ones are

WeedsGM3.sf2
ProteusGM.sf2
TimGM6mb.sf2
etc
