Different Ways To Play Audio?
Dec 10, 2009
I'm new to VB and have over the last week or two been looking at the different ways to play audio (mp3's). Windows Media Player, Microsoft Multimedia Control, Bass.dll, SndPlaySound, MCI SendString and DirectX (including audiovideoplayback, direct3d and directsound.)I origninally decided to use windows mediaplayer, mainly because it seemed the logical choice but quickly found out i couldn't get it to work properly. So i installed the Directx SDK but now i'm completely overwhelmed about what to use and why.

I'm looking at creating an mp3 player to keep myself busy. However I'm trying everything I can to avoid using the windows media player COM component. It makes it a little too easyWhile looking around I stumbled upon the DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback namespace and I was wondering if this would be sufficient. Would I be able to create an equalizer and other more advanced things for my application?

I need to be able run the compiled code on a win 2k box, play an mp3 from start to finish then load and play another mp3 from start to finish and so on. Whats the difference between the varied choices and which would be the best for me to use?

Just found out the hardway that there is no longer support for Direcshow for VB.net and C#. Does anyone know other ways of playing mp3s in VB.net, or even video for that matter?

how can i play the audio after the previous audio play is finish by using directx.
assume i have audio1.wav and audio2.wav.
i play audio1.wav by this code.
audio1 = audio.fromfile("D:audio1.wav", false)
how can i play audio2.wav after audio1.wav is finish? without use any button or signal. just depends on when the audio1.wav is finish, then audio2.wav will play automatically.

I have put some wav audio on the resources. in my form, i have a label. i named the label as s1f1 and s1f2. now i want to play the audio according to the label click. if it is click then the audio play. i dont to put a line of code in every label. assuming that there is a lot of label, then it will be a waste of time. so how can i play the audio, by only write a several line code but for all of the labels.

In my program I have one line of code that worked one day, and not the next. I didn't change anything in this part of the code, but sure enough, going back a day, it works.
Code:
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("tada"), AudioPlayMode.Background)
Now, this is the exact same line of code in the copy that works, and the copy that doesn't. The line is identical, so there must be a problem with my actual resources or something.I know this line of code is getting called... I can put a breakpoint on it and put debug.print statements before and after it.Now, in my resources, tada is listed in there, and the file seems to be there appropriately. In fact, if I double click it in the tree, it plays, and I can play it on the resources screen as well. I even tried adding a different wav file, and no luck!
Putting a try/catch block around it shows that no errors are thrown.I've tried it on 4 different computers with different configurations. Same problem.how to debug this?

I do get that I'm going to need to "thread" them separately, but I've been unsuccessful so far.
I get the audio clips to play, but when one starts, the other stops.
This is code that's playing the audio, derived from examples in preior postings[code]...

I am currently trying to find a way to play an audio stream from the internet so I thought that someone here might be able to help me. The stream I want to play is specified in a .m3u file and it is not a live stream, it is pre-recorded. This component is for a WPF Browser Application I'm developing.I thought of using the ActiveX MediaPlayer from WMP.dll but it's lack of intuitiveness confounded me. I would really dislike having to download the whole audio track before playing it since the file may be really large and take a long time to complete. Playing the file in Windows Media Player as an outside player is also out of the question.

I need to play a sound file: Soundsopen_creaky_door.wav"
However the code only works if I specify the EXACT location:
My.Computer.Audio.Play("c:soundsopen_creaky_door .wav")
Is there a way I can set the relative path to something like this?
My.Computer.Audio.Play("soundsopen_creaky_door.w av")

I have 1-10 audio files that were selected by the user using an "openFileDialog" (with a button and textbox for each). Now, I want it to play all of the files that they selected in a random order when the user clicks "Button12." After all the files have been played, I want it to start over and play all of them in a random order again. I don't want it to stop until the user clicks "Button13." When the user clicks "Button 12" again, it should start playing them in a random order again.

I am building a music player. I found this class that has worked great for what I need. However, for some reason, it won't play certain audio files. IT just reads it as 0 duration. I have no idea why. Below is the code that plays the file.

Basically my program has a "shuffle" music feature:
vb For i = 0 To 26 num = randomObject.Next(0, 27) My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:UsersMcturtlesMusicSongs" & num & ".wav", AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop) Next
Which selects a random number 0 - 26 and selects the corresponding song.
And a straight play feature:
vb Dim counter As Integer Do Until counter > 26 My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:usersmcturtlesmusicsongs" & counter & ".wav", AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete) counter += 1 Loop
All of these activated by a button(separate for each)
When I click one, it makes the program stop responding. I'm pretty sure it is the .WaitToComplete mode, but I can't find a way to make it continuously play without it. If you can find my error. Also if you could tell me a way to make the shuffle never play the same song twice, that would be awesome as well.

The code below works so i know the resource is registering correctly ...
vb.net
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.alrt2xuk, AudioPlayMode.Background)
But what im trying to do is make a function where I can play the audio file in the programs resources with a string variable being passed to it representing the resource objects filename.
this is so users can type in a audio files name and pull it from the program's resources dynamically VS a big case i would keep having to expand ...
heres my code
[Code]....
but that isnt working for some reason ... keeps throwing "objects reference not set to instant of an object" on the "Return ..." line

I have a start and stop button on a form and would like a pause and restart button aswell.
I can start my audio file (WAV file in the C-Drive) fine with;
My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:Bleep_TestBleep_Test.wav", AudioPlayMode.Background)
Thus allowing other functions to be carried out.I can stop my audio with;
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
But i would like to be able to pause and restart the audio?There are timers and getkeystates envolved with this form. The timers I can pause and restart, the getkeystates are a function called in conjunction with the timers as a case statement, (all this is working).how to pause and restart the audio, bearing in mind the loaction and the other features of the form? (I only wish i was a clever as you guys/girls out there to return the help rather than leaching your knowledge continously)

how to play video or audio in a vb.net application but have come up with not a lot.
I want to create a program that accessing a web server (no problem on that) and will pick up audio and video that is stored on that server.
Or, maybe do a live broadcast where I can play my guitar and sing a song. (Promise if I get this done through here I will give you a live performance) on that note I am sure you will all hold back.
This is a little open and wide, but what I would like to know via a webserver is this possible
1.Video
2.Audio
3.Live broadcast
