Play a wav file.

44 New Member
Hi, I am looking to play a wave file in visual basic. I would like it to play from the resource file. I have added the wave file but how do I get it to play? I do have this code.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim Sound As New System.Media.SoundPlayer()
  2.  
  3. Sound.SoundLocation = “your path to the .wav file” ‘ex.: c:\mysound.wav
  4. Sound.Load()
  5. Sound.Play()
Thanks

Can you explain what you mean by "the resource file", to make sure we're all on the same "wavelength "? The code you posted looks as though it's intended to play directly from the WAV file, not from a resource file.

I understand this but the resource file that is in VB is were I would like to play my sound from. The code I posted is for a file name but I want one that will play a sound in the resource file.

In that case, I think you had better tell us what version of VB you're using.

Also, here's a Google search which may help.

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 have the latest version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional, which allows you to create resource files (this is the .resx file, no?), unlike the Express version, which does not. I am trying to cut and paste code that MSDN recommends for playing a simple wav file from inside an embedded file, like presumeably the 'resources' file .resx is. I want to embed the .wav file in a 'resource file' since I don't want the user storing the file on...

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,...
