Audio in Cocos2d-x
As Cocos2d-x supports various platforms, it needs to support the audio formats in each of the platforms as well. It is recommended that you use platform-specific format for your game to avoid any issues that might arise due to incompatibility. You can visit the Cocos2d-x wiki to know more about the different formats: http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Audio_formats_supported_by_CocosDenshion_on_different_platforms. I will just highlight formats for some of the popular platforms and operating systems.
Cocos2d-x also supports different formats for background music and sound effects for the same platforms, but it is highly recommended that you use the same format for both the background music and sound effects just to avoid confusion. The following table shows the preferred format for the different platforms:
|
Platform/OS |
Format |
|---|---|

Windows Phone 8, Windows Desktop, and Windows App |

iOS and Mac |
