How to play sound

I want to play a sound file, which is on my server, and approximately 5 - 7
MB it is .Wav file. or .mp3, I want to play this file so that user of my
site can click on a link to play this file. Is it possible to play a sound
file in .aspx page. If it is through webservice, that is also good. C# code
please.

Also, please let me know waht is the best solution to play any sound file.
Does my client require to have windows multi-media sdk(for required ActiveX
control) or windows media player install on their computer ?

I appreciate your reply.

Just a thought,
You can import the audio file into Flash and convert it to an swf file.(of
course you need flash for this) but believe me you get a very less file size.
And also flash player runs on *most* of the browsers so just load the swf
file when the user clicks the link.

Here's one for the trolls...a common jibe from them is setting up audio/video hardware under linux. Ok, true story: at work today, someone asked me if I could tell him why his XP Home would play the video from a DVD but not the audio.

Gateway had nothing, but sure enough, search for *XP DVD no sound* on Google and...

As a follow on to the 'fun' I had with IE I'm now trying to play sounds using an Object tag (no Embed) in MZ. Sadly whenever 'playButton' gets clicked MZ says that "audObj.Play is not a function": window.onload = function() { var audObj = document.createElement("object"); audObj.setAttribute("id", "objmedia"); audObj.setAttribute("type","audio/x-aiff"); audObj.setAttribute("data","media/aif_sample.aif");

Hello, I'm developing a piece of software to assist illiteraate adults to learn to read. I'm trying to figure out how, if possible, to make audio playback asynchrnous but still controllable. I'm using python 2.4 with pymedia on XP. I started out with the example in the tutorials section of the pymedia website. The pymedia docs imply to me that playback using Output's play() method should already be asynchronous and controllable. I...

I've done a thorough search, but could not find any posts If I store a sound file within the mdb, How do I play it (in a form event, for example) I can save it to a temp folder and call the Windows API to play it. But that doesn't look very clean. I guess there must be a way to directly play that sound without first extracting it.

I have some audio help files that play fine from within Access 97 and Access 2.0. Both are running on a Windows XP box. But I do not know what program plays the files. If I click Start, Run and type in c:\MyApp\MyHelp\Help1.wav, Windows Media Player tries unsuccessfully to play the wav file. It err's saying ClassFactory cannot supply the requested class.

I'm using the first code sample below to play WAV files stored as embedded resources. For some reason I *occasionally* get scratching and crackling. I'm using a couple WAVs that ship with Windows, and they play fine outside of my app. This code works, but has the random "scratching" problem: private static void PlayResource(string audioRes) { // Get the resource into a stream

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
