playing a sound with vb.net?

73 New Member
I want to be able to play a sound when a user has sucessfully looged on and a different sound when the log on has failed. Is there and way to do this with vb.net. The log in process is going to happen very quickly and I won't be able to use the Windows media player either. Is there also any way to play a sound without speakers?

Instead of a beep sound playing as an alarm or reminder I would like to be able to play a more interesting sound. On the web, I found and tried a sound routine that uses the SOUND.DRV but it does not work for me. Maybe it would be best to try to play a small mp3 or wav file instead - does VB 6.0 have built-in support for sounds like that?...

Hi, I'm just trying to play a *.wav file, making use of the unmanaged function "sndPlaySoundA" in winmm.dll, but I still got one question: How can I avoid, that the sound file itself has to be seperate file in a specific directory, but instead 'integrate' it in my application? Thanks peter

I just want quick and easy way to play a .wav file out the standard sound device. It could even be as simple as activating a sound assigned to an existing windows sound event. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -Lee

I am using winmm.dll and I found that I can't just suspend it and resume it? What should I do? Any better idea? Should I use thread? and thread.suspend will work? Thanks
