Loading sound with SDL2.0 causes exception in MS Visual Studio - c++

Question

I have the following sound loading function:
bool Sound::load(const char* fileName)
{
sound = Mix_LoadWAV(fileName);
if (sound == nullptr)
{
std::cout << "Failed to load sound at path: " << fileName << "SDL_mixer error: " << Mix_GetError();
return false;
}
return true;
}
In Dev-C++, this works, fine. I wanted to use another IDE, so I started using Visual Studio 2017, and configured SDL2 for it. However, when I run this code, from the moment Mix_LoadWAV is called, Visual studio gives the following:

I have searched alot on the internet, but I could not find anything useful that worked for me.
EDIT: as per request, I created a minimal example that still produces the same error.
#include "SDL2\SDL_mixer.h"
#include "SDL2\SDL.h"
#include <iostream>
#undef main
class SoundTest
{
private:
Mix_Chunk* sound = nullptr;
public:
bool load(const char* fileName)
{
sound = Mix_LoadWAV(fileName);
if (sound == nullptr)
{
std::cout << "Failed to load sound at path: " << fileName << "SDL_mixer error: " << Mix_GetError();
return false;
}
return true;
}
};
SDL_Window *window = nullptr;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
window = SDL_CreateWindow("Sound bug? ", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 300, 300, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);
Mix_OpenAudio(22050, MIX_DEFAULT_FORMAT, 2, 2048);
SoundTest sound;
sound.load("audio/soundEffect.wav");
while (true)
{
//Do fun stuff with the sound
}
return 0;
}
