-- Load and play a sound effect
local sound = love.audio.newSource("explosion.wav", "static")
love.audio.play(sound)
Background music with volume control
-- Load background music and set volume
local music = love.audio.newSource("background.mp3", "stream")
music:setVolume(0.5)
music:setLooping(true)
love.audio.play(music)
Best practices
Use "static" sources for short sound effects and "stream" sources for long music tracks
Preload audio files during loading screens to avoid delays
Consider using audio effects (reverb, echo) sparingly for performance
Test audio on target platforms as format support may vary
Use appropriate audio formats: OGG/Vorbis for music, WAV for sound effects
Platform compatibility
Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux): Full audio support including 3D audio and effects
Mobile (iOS, Android): Full support but some effects may be limited
Web: Limited to basic audio playback, no recording or advanced effects
Performance considerations
Too many simultaneous audio sources can cause performance issues
Complex audio effects impact CPU usage
Streaming audio uses less memory than static audio
Audio position calculations for 3D audio can be CPU-intensive
