No matter what wav file I tried to play in an project, I keep getting the same error. The error states: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Resource namedfile.wav can not be loaded'

I cannot get any sound of any kind to load using SKAction.playSoundFilenamed. I have made sure that the file is names correctly and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

I have tested this in several projects, including the following test Game project wherein I use all default code except for a call to the SKAction

class GameScene: SKScene {
    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
        /* Setup your scene here */
        let myLabel = SKLabelNode(fontNamed:"Chalkduster")
        myLabel.text = "Hello, World!";
        myLabel.fontSize = 65;
        myLabel.position = CGPoint(x:CGRectGetMidX(self.frame), y:CGRectGetMidY(self.frame));
        let soundfile = SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("soundProject.wav", waitForCompletion: false)
        runAction(soundfile)
        self.addChild(myLabel)
    }

I cannot get any sound of any kind to load using SKAction.playSoundFilenamed. I already checked to made sure that the file is named correctly and that it exits in the bundle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

UPDATE I Ran my attached code on a different computer, and it compliled and ran perfectly. There must be something wrong with my xcode/simulator. Does anyone know how to reset it? Thanks

When you select your sound file in XCode, access the inspector on the right side, then make sure the file is selected for your target(s).
