Default Read wav files - wrong data

I want to make a plugin that can read audio files. For wav, I made this function:

H file:
Code:
void readWave(char *fname);
CPP file:
Code:
//Wav Header
struct wav_header_t {
    char chunkID[4]; 
    unsigned long chunkSize; 
    char format[4]; 
    char subchunk1ID[4]; 
    unsigned long subchunk1Size;
    unsigned short audioFormat;
    unsigned short numChannels;
    unsigned long sampleRate;
    unsigned long byteRate;
    unsigned short blockAlign;
    unsigned short bitsPerSample;
};

//Chunks
struct chunk_t {
    char ID[4];
    unsigned long size; 
};
void VSTCLASS::readWave(char *fname) {
    FILE *fin = fopen(fname, "rb");

    //Read WAV header
    wav_header_t header;
	fread(&header, sizeof(header), 1, fin);
	
    debugPrint("File Size:", header.chunkSize);
    debugPrint("Format Length:", header.subchunk1Size );
    debugPrint("Format Type:", header.audioFormat);
    debugPrint("Number of Channels:", header.numChannels);
    debugPrint("Sample Rate:", header.sampleRate);
    debugPrint("Sample Rate * Bits/Sample * Channels / 8:", header.byteRate);
    debugPrint("Bits per Sample * Channels / 8.1:", header.blockAlign);
	debugPrint("Bits per Sample:", header.bitsPerSample);

    chunk_t chunk;
    //go to data chunk
    while (true) {
        fread(&chunk, sizeof(chunk), 1, fin);
        debugPrint("chunk", chunk.ID[0], chunk.ID[1], chunk.ID[2], chunk.ID[3], chunk.size);
        if (*(unsigned int *)&chunk.ID == 0x61746164)
            break;
        //skip chunk data bytes
        fseek(fin, chunk.size, SEEK_CUR);
    }

    //Number of samples
    int sample_size = header.bitsPerSample / 8;
    int samples_count = chunk.size * 8 / header.bitsPerSample;
	debugPrint("Samples count:", samples_count);

    short int *value = new short int[samples_count];
	memset(value, 0, sizeof(short int) * samples_count);

    //Reading data
    for (int i = 0; i < samples_count; i++) {
        fread(&value[i]/, sample_size, 1, fin);
		debugPrint("sample:", i,  value[i]/32767.);		
	}
	
	fclose(fin);
}
Data from value[i] are completely wrong. Can you tell me where the mistake is please?

It seems to work just fine here... Are you sure your input is a 16-bit mono WAV file? Are you sure your debugPrint() can handle doubles?

BTW, I also have a WAV file reader (wavread.h) in my WDL repo.

Your wavread.h it's perfect!

For ogg files reading can I find something like that?

Well, I do see a vorbisencdec.h in WDL. However, I have no experience with this. It would seem that this requires a third party SDK, I guess libogg...

I used your wavread.h- thanks!

I need seek function to scan in the wav file. So I added:
Code:
	bool Seek(int sample, int origin) {
		if (!m_fp) return false;
		fseek(m_fp, int((float)sample * m_bps/8.f), origin);
		return true;
	}
wav.Seek(buf_skip, SEEK_CUR) it seems to work but using SEEK_SET returns completely wrong results. Where am I wrong, please?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but WaveReader::Open() already uses fseek(SEEK_CUR) for skipping unsupported chunks (i.e. everything except "fmt " and "data").

I need to read samples from a given start sample position, not all from start. Using this: wav->Seek(samples_start); then wav->ReadDoubles(...)

Yeah, then doing fseek(SEEK_CUR) after Open() but before Read*() makes sense.

You might also want to take the number of channels into account, but I guess you already can if you do something like:

Code:
wav.Seek(nsamples * wav.get_nch());
