VS 2008 - Using Media.SoundPlayer() To Play 2 Sounds
Jan 6, 2010
I am using the following code to play sounds in my VB.NET application: [Code] now this works fine for any sound file. However there is a second sound file (sound2.wav) which I want to play sometimes too. I want sound2 to have priority over sound1, however if I play sound2 using this method and then sound1 also plays a second later, sound2 will be canceled for sound1 to play.
So I'd like to know if there's a way to either play both sounds at once, or to check if sound2 is playing before I play sound1, and then only play sound1 if sound2 is not currently playing.

I'm writing a simple little program in VB.NET that has to play two sounds - at the same time.The problem is, that when I call SoundPlayer.Play() twice in immediate succesion, it seems that the latter call sorts of "takes over" the thread that is created by the first call, instead of creating a new one, like it says it should do in the docs.I'm using the following code:
Private Sub Button_OFD_Sound1_Browse_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button_OFD_Sound1_Browse.Click
LoadSound(OFD_Sound1, TextBox_OFD_Sound1_SelectedFile, SoundPlayer_Sound1)
End Sub
[Code]...

Im trying to open media player (full screen) and play a movie. When i create the file path like so: Dim MoviePathVTS As String = String.Concat("""" + tempMoviePath, " \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" + """")
It wont play the file but if i do it like this: Dim video1 = """F:\Movies\DvD\Angels and Deamons\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"""
It plays fine? the file paths are the same including the extra "" but it just refuses to play. I need the top one because i have many movies in a treeview.
Heres my code
Private Sub watchNow_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'get the position of the selected node
Dim i = movieTreeView.SelectedNode.Index

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

how can I play a MP3 file without using Windows Media Player or Direct Sound? I cant use DirectX even if I wanted to! Is there any other way? I could not use DirectX because I could not install the DirectX Software Development Kit on a 64 bit system!

Is it possible to play two or more sounds at the same time (i.e., one plays in the background and one plays a sound effect) and if so, how can I do this? I am having problems because it is cancelling one of the sounds out when the other starts.

I want to play system sounds with .NET code in my app - no problem if I want to use Beep, Asterisk etc as I can just use: My.Computer.Audio.Play SystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk)But what if I want to play something like 'Menu Pop-up'? This sound is off by default in the Windows Default Sound Scheme, but if the user has set this sound up to do something then I want to play it.The user could have assigned any wav file to this action so I want to find which (if any) sound they have assigned and play it. Compatibility with Windows versions back to XP is also essential.

me and a partner need to play sounds when certain events occur, however, every method we try..
My.Computer.Audo.Play("file.wav")
or?
Sound.PlayWaveFile("file.wav") from this class: http:[url]....etc they all don't work
They do NOT throw any exceptions, they just dont play the music, the test demo of the Sound Class works like a charm, its just not working in our project..same with My.Computer. Audio. Play.what could we have done to make it so that we can't play sounds from our application?
PS: this problem occurs on all of the computers we test it on, yet the normal sound-playing methods seem to work on all of those computers when they are implemented in other projects.. its just not working in these instances

I know how to access and play the system sounds using vb.net, and I also know that using the registry to save users' settings isn't ideal, however, The details of my project are rather long and drawn out, so I'll skip most of them Basically my program is loaded onto several computers on our network. The entire purpose of this program is to sound various alarms on different dates and times. Apparently I am to set up the program so that the different alarm sounds can be configured through Windows' control panel.
I can add the program into the appropriate part of the Registry in order to make that happen. The problem is reading the the information back. Under the name of the app, I have four different subkeys, each with the name of one of the alarms. Under those keys are two other subkeys, .default and .current. How do I get the sound from .current to play? For some weird reason I get null returned any time I try to read the key that I created.

I want to play multiple sounds simultaneously from My.Resources in Visual Basic 2010. I have tried:My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.SoundName, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I have also tried using multiple Windows Media Player controls, but that also didn't work.The first sound is cut off when the next sound plays.When searching around the internet I found people suggesting using 'DirectSound', but there are only tutorials for DirectSound in VB 6.0.

I am looking for a way to play the usual MIDI sounds in a VB program. Similar to the beep program (ie console.beep, leading to timer1.start etc.)but instead of an annoying bleep, have a MIDI sound (like a flute, violin, clarinet, etc.). Is this possible in VB 2008?

i have a button in my application that starts a function to play sounds.But when the function starts a have a problem that my application stops working until all the sounds are played. Then a want to display a waiting screen to show the status of the current application. To this i thought to create a new thread to open the waiting window and then show the messages.
But i have a problem that when my thread finishes, it closes the waiting screen. I tryied to put a loop inside my thread, but this crashes my aplication until the loop condition is satisfied.

For an application I am building, I need to have the user specify button labels and be able to click on them to play a sound they specify. I would like them to be able to specify the number of buttons, the label for the buttons, and the sound file to be played. I would then like the user to be able to save those settings. How do I go about doing this? Also, how do I get the file they've opened's name to show up in the title bar of the app?

I made a program that plays several streams, and radio stations from its online sources. Some streams WMP can play, and some only quicktime can play. Currently, I am using the dll libraries for wmp and quicktime and compiling them with my program. it works but it's very laggy and it causes problems in other computers.So, my question, Do you guys know a library to play most media types? so I would have only one dll file.

Im working on a media player for my work. It is suppose to be a song randomizer. I do have this mostly working. My issue is getting it to correctly switch songs when one ends. I just dont know why it is half working and half not. So my issue, after much debugging, which i have kept in my code i will post, i have found that when the song changes, the song does change, the index in the listbox goes up one and the 2nd song starts playing. I should note that i do have the code for playing the next song.

I have 28 mp3 and 28 wav files. A Treeview allows user to select "Matthew" then click on a chapter and that chapter plays. What I want to accomplish, is to allow the user to click on "Matthew" in the treeview and the m3u (playlist) plays the entire Audio
Book of "Matthew".
I have researched the forums, tried numerus examps, checked out MSDN examps and Learn and still cannot find a way to accomplish what I want.
