Playing and sound file with vb.net code?

73 New Member
I want to Play a specific sound file in my code when a certain event happens, but i don't know how. I can play the system sounds in my program and I know how to start the media player to play an mp3 but I want to be able to play the sound file without an external player. Is there any other way of playing a sound file in vb.net code when an event is fired?

Take a look at System.Media.So undPlayer class. You can easily load and play wav files using it.

Hope this help.

Hello all, What is the syntax for simply playing a WAV file in your program? Am learning VB and have two VB books but don't wanna root through them to find the code. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance,

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? Tom

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

Hello, I had been given this code to play a single sound file embedded in a page. Sadly, the code doesn't actually "play" any sound file. Could you help supply some JS code that will play a sound file for both IE and Mozilla? Thanks, - Dave <html> <head> <title>Make some noize</title>

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

Hi, I'm writing a simple wav player (like winamp) and using the SoundPlayer class in c# 2005. Using winform buttons, I can begin playing the sound and stop half-way through the sound using: myPlayer.Play() and myPlayer.Stop() methods which works great, but i want to know when the sound actually stops playing (so I can change my button's picture). If I raise a custom event after the myPlayer.Play()
