Playing sounds from resources in VB2005

[Terry Olsen]

Using the following routine to play embedded wav files:

Private Sub PlaySound(ByVal Sound As Int32)
Select Case Sound
Case 1 : My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Sounds.GoOnlin e,
AudioPlayMode.Background)
Case 2 : My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Sounds.DoorOpe n,
AudioPlayMode.Background)
Case 3 : My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Sounds.DoorSla m,
AudioPlayMode.Background)
Case 4 : My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Sounds.Private Msg,
AudioPlayMode.Background)
End Select
End Sub

Occasionally, instead of hearing the sound, i just hear white noise. This
doesn't happen if I play the sounds from files. Is there a better way to
play sound resources to eliminate the white noise anamoly?

Hi

I had this problem too. Finally I solved this by performing this playing the
sound synchronosly in a backgroundworkerprocess.
Private WithEvents bkw As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Public Sub PlaySound(ByVal Sound As System.IO.UnmanagedMemoryStream)
If bkw.IsBusy Then Exit Sub
bkw.RunWorkerAsync(Sound)
End Sub

Private Sub bkw_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles bkw.DoWork
My.Computer.Audio.Play(e.Argument, AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete)
End Sub
