error lnk2019 unresolved external symbol public __thiscall sfml audio module

Question

Im having great troubles compiling a simple test project using with SFML. I have seen many errors similar to the ones Im getting on the internet but everything i tried failed.

I am static linking sfml.

• In the project's properties, I added the path to the SFML headers and the SFML libraries.

• I have define the SFML_STATIC macro in the preprocessor options of my project.

• I added modules and their dependencies like so :

sfml-audio-s.lib sfml-audio-s-d.lib sfml-graphics-s.lib sfml-graphics-s-d.lib sfml-window-s.lib sfml-window-s-d.lib sfml-system-s.lib sfml-system-s-d.lib opengl32.lib freetype.lib jpeg.lib winmm.lib flac.lib vorbis.lib vorbisenc.lib vorbisfile.lib ogg.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

• I even added the dll files in my executable folder even though its not necessary when static building.

  here is my code :

  #include "stdafx.h"
  #include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
  #include <iostream>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  
  int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
  {
      std::cout << "helloo" << std::endl;
      sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
      if (!buffer.loadFromFile("A4.wav"))
          std::cout << "cant open file" << std::endl;
      sf::Sound sound;
      sound.setBuffer(buffer);
      sound.play();
      _sleep(5000);
      return 42;
  }
  

And now here is the errors I get :

1>AudioTest.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall sf::SoundBuffer::~SoundBuffer(void)" (??1SoundBuffer@sf@@QAE@XZ)  referenced in function _wmain

1>AudioTest.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall sf::SoundBuffer::SoundBuffer(void)" (??0SoundBuffer@sf@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function _wmain

additionnal infos :

• Im using visual studio 2010 express.

• I downloaded "SFML 2.3 Visual C++ 10 (2010) - 64-bit".

any help appreciated.

EDIT : as I said I tried many things, I have read a LOT of stack overflow or other forums posts, nothing worked... I have been stuck on this for 2 weeks now. I'd really appreciate some help
