Hi everyone 
This is my first time posting on these forums, so hopefully I am obeying all of the proper etiquette. I searched the forums and google for people who had similar problems to what has happened to me, but my results did not turn up anything that I could tell was similar to this scenario.
Long story short I was following Lazy Foo’s SDL tutorials and made a program which allowed you to play sounds by pushing various buttons. I decided to derp around a bit and I just idly button-mashed my keyboard, causing the program to rapidly play many sounds at once, before the program unexpectedly and promptly closed without any error messages.
Since that time, I have been unable to run ANY program on my computer that uses SDL_Mixer. I’ve tried creating new projects, downloading new versions of SDL and all of it’s extensions, and everything that I can think of, but to no avail. Even my earlier, previous programs which had SDL_Mixer and worked fine, now just immediately close after I launch them in Visual Studio or otherwise.
I’m worried that I might have to reformat my hard drive because I can’t figure out how to fix this ~_~
If anyone is knowledgeable and has advice, or knows what is wrong, or how to fix it, I would be very grateful to hear from you. This problem is has been plaguing me for weeks now and I’ve been unable to solve it.
~Thank you very much~
This is the Debug Output that Visual Studio produces when I try to run the program that originally caused this:
