I'm working on a program that allows a person to click on some text and it will read the text (play a wav file) using My.Computer.Audio.Play. The program calls a procedure called PlayAudioClip which uses AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete because in some cases two wav files will be played one after the other(two languages). During the playing of the wav files I want to show a visible indicator that there is audio. I've got a picturebox called "AudioPic" who's image property points to a picture in my.resources. THe visible property of AudioPic is set to false when the form loads When the user clicks on the text my program should display the image (Visible=true), play the clip (or two) and then hide it again.
It seems that the picture is not completely loaded before the wav file plays and since I have it set to WaitToComplete it stops the loading until the wav file has played, at which time the program hides it.
How can I force it to finish showing the picture before playing the clip?[code]...
I am creating a windows service that will do things behind the scenes without any GUI needed, thus the need for a Windows Service. The problem is though I would like to notify the user when certain events happen by playing a short audio clip. I know Windows Service's create a virtual Desktop, in which, Audio messages are not sent to the users Desktop.
I'd like to add music to one of my VB.Net 2010 applications. My preference would be an MP3, but if necessary I can convert to WAV. What's the easiest way to add and play a clip of music via VB.net 2010?
I embeded many audio file (.wav) in resources. I can inluded the following code to play a audio file My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.testWav, AudioPlayMode.Background)
But this command play only one audio file(testWav) I have two questions
1) Is there any way to play all audio files no matter how many files in Resources included in VB 2005 without typing all embeded audio file name? (using something like For Next statement)
2) Can I pass parameter to My.Computer.Audio.Play( , ), which means that when I choose one of files embeded in Resource, I just pass the chosen audio file to this command not specific file name(like testWav.wav)
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 originally 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 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?
Based on a thread earlier today, and in particular an answer that Cor gave wherein he pointed to this article, I thought that I'd do some investigation. Many times here the question has come up about playing .mp3 audio files and NOT using the Windows Media Player object. In the article referenced above, he shows how this can be done via DirectX.
I've looked at DirectX before and it seemed ambiguous so I never really dug into it but it turns out to be pretty simple actually! I thought that I'd write this as a step-by-step of what I did so that maybe some of you will find use from it. The whole thing stems around using DirectX and to begin with, you'll need to download and install the SDK for it. If you haven't already,
try this link. Do be aware that it's a large download (about a half gig)! Once that's installed, create a form and add a reference to the class that we need for this. You can do this several ways, but the way I usually do is to right-click on the name in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Add Reference":
my program is designed to run on windows7. the mixer in the taskbar lets you control volumes per application. is their a way to determin if a specific application is playing a sound? if not, how would i go about checking to see if the system is currently outputting anysound.
my app is currently setup to use a speech to text and text to speech. basicly i want it to be able to wait for the text to speach software to stop talking before my app plays internal sounds (using the My.Computer.Audio.Play)
i don't have any code to provide as i have no idea where to start.
I am developing a video player with WPF.(in VB)I have already created a MediaElement ,ListBox, "Next" button, then start playing through reading ListBox,and use "Next" to skip to next audio/video.In "MediaEnded" event, i just copy all code in "Next" button.Now, problem is coming,
Assume the Listbox has four audios(.mp3), "test1.mp3", "test2.mp3", ...... now playing is "test1.mp3", i push "Next" button, then now playing is "test2.mp3". However, when i just let "test1.mp3" play completed, my player will not play "test2.mp3",
I am working on an application in VB.net (.NET 2.0) where I need to open a dynamic amount of different audio streams. Normally, for audio files, one would suggest importing the Windows Media Player COM reference and adding a GUI-based element from the toolbox, but since I'll be working with a dynamic amount of these a GUI would be a terrible idea (especially with Tab stops).
I want to create a audio player class but having some problems like when audio is finished it is not repeating. While playing audio some UI controls are not working.
Right now I'm trying to make an alarm clock program.I know my coding is correct and I'm not geting errors. Also my sound is a .Wav and was properly inserted into the resources folder. I was wondering if there is just some dumb setting that needs to be changed or if I'm forgeting something in the code.[code]...
[code]So basically the combobox1 item which is selected is sent to a string and is then supposed to be played from my resources. The .wav file which is in my resources is named "Sound1" however I have no idea how to reference it.
So I have a wav playing using DirectX in VB6. If i switch to another window, it stops playing. If I click back on the VB6 window it resumes play. How do I make it continue playing when I change windows? Another problem I cannot load wav files larger than 50 megabyte. It says Out Of Memory. How can I increase that?
VB.NET Dim audio As New Audio(Application.StartupPath & "est.wav", True) audio.Balance = 10000 audio.Play()
Which works great. But if I need to change that file, I get an UnauthorizedException because the I haven't disposed of it. But, if I add a dispose after .Play, it won't play.
[code] I am programming a simple alarm clock and the loop never ends the clock stops counting seconds, and I can not click any button as the form seems to be frozen
I'm developing a standslone system for my school project. I'm developing an audio management system which allow user to add audio files itself into database together with the audio information such as artist name and album year. I just started it few days ago and face some problems.. my song in the playlist wont continue to play after 1 finished and i need some idea on how to store the audio files into database ... in blob types may be?
Heres the screenshot and codes
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bt_add.Click
What I'm wanting to do is add something to my software that sort of acts in place of an archive by saving pictures an audio clips as string.
I want to be able to save an image/audio clip to a string, and then pull that data from the string again and convert it back to an image/audio file. The purpose of this is so that I can save multiple images and audio clips all within one string, using datasplits to later separate them again.
Basically, what I had in mind was saving an picture/audio file to a string setting (let's call it my.settings.audiofile), and then pulling that string setting and writing it to an jpg/mp3 file using my SaveFileDialog.
So, how would I write raw audio/picture data to a string?
You did it very good and i will ask you step by step to fulfil my knowledge and keeping it as the sample for the learners who love to know the Visual Basic language especially with the song program. Could you please add the cover picture to audio file path in Add A New Song Form as in the picture below.
I want to make program that shows info in game while playing. Problem is that I have no idea how to do it. I tryed some methods, but unsuccessfully. So does anyone has idea how to make it ?
I just want to ask or I need some idea on how to convert wav files to mp3 and compressed the file to make the size smaller. I've search on the internet and find vorbis.dll as a reference object and lame.exe for converter. With regards to the audio compression, i downloaded monkey's audio software but doesnt have an idea on how to incorporate it.
Im trying to capture the audio played on my laptop. so i have searched the internet and found a source code for doing exactly that. the problem i have is that my audio device is not listed in the dropdown box (see picture) but it does when its run on windows xp (im running windows 7 x64) the goal of this application would be to capture my friends radio stream and save the individual played mp3's to a loction on my hard drive.(yes i have permission) i have included the source code so perhaps some 1 could have a look at it.

Just playing around with VB and have made a program for playing "pairs". The program displays lots of face down cards, then the user can click on them to reveal their face and try to find pairs. This is done by hiding or showing the "card reverse" picture
If the user finds a pair, the cards should stay face up, however if they do not match, they should be returned to facing down.
The pictures need to be loaded dynamically through an array...
The code I have so far is as follows...
Form1...
Code: Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I'm trying to make a game, pretty much a game like memory where you flip over a card and find the match. But because of how many buttons I need I was wondering if it was possible to show the picture in a message, all the pictures are funny motivational posters from photobucket so I want the player to be able to read the dialog. I've already tried doing
Dim picture as string = "1.jpg" Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click MessageBox.Show(picture) End Sub
but when I click the button nothing happens and yes the name of the picture in my bin folder is "1". I am using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
I have a database application developed around Access with VBA,I have used the Speech SDK and developed an application that in conjunction with MSCOMM 6.0 library calls into a remote IVR system.It sends in the credentials and queries information in response to that IVR's verbal requests. All seems successfull except for one problem;I'm using a shared SR engine and its using the system microphone as its audio input, this in turn gets the sound from the speakers which are routed to the telephone line through the modem. Of course this has a number of disadvantages - noise added to the sound from the environment and sound quality degredation as well as speaker volume dependency.
I would like the SR engine to take its audio input from the modem in paralell with the sound that goes to the speakers (so we can listen in to the call as well). This means that I must route the system audio output to the SR engine audio input. It seems that I must use an InProc SR instance - however in VBA that type is not recognized - since the shared SR uses the microphone as input by default. there is some statement to the effect that it is difficult in Microsoft's Help file. I'm unable to set the SR audio input to the modem output stream in VBA.As needed I can accomplish the C++ interface using an ActiveX object or a DLL to expose the missing API to VBA?
I am trying to get a access picture attachment to show in an vb.net picture box. at start up, i add an attachment field to the database, and add pictures to the database in jpg form. then connect the database to vb project using the general vb settings. The connection is sucessful, I then add a picture box control to the form along with changing the attachment field to a picture box setting at this point every thing should be good. However, when i go to run the program the picture box remains
