View 3 RepliesHey guys, I'm a new guy in VB.NET. I am proposing my final year project a title called music studio. My version of music studio is like real music video where we can play many sound at any time. For example, the application that I want to build can create many button and also add an audio along with it. And then, when we hit the 1st button, it play 1st audio. while 1st audio play, we also can hit 2nd button and 2nd audio is playing. for example, 1st audio is sound of man walking, and then 2nd audio is the sound of glass break. lastly 3rd sound sound of police siren play. Is it cool? so, my question is, is it possible the I can build an application by using VB.NET?

What is the simplest way to play two or more sounds at the same time? It should be a light software.
View 3 RepliesIs 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.

View 3 RepliesI 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.

View 2 Replies 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.
What is the easiest way to play a sound from windows sounds? Does .NET built-in library for that?
View 1 RepliesI 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 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 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?

View 2 RepliesI've created a new form in my program and dragged the windows media player into the form. I have an mp3 in a resources folder within the project. I've set the URL to the name of the mp3. I've looked at tutorials but they make the windows player accessible to the users. I just want the user to be able to hear the music and not be able to change anything regarding the background music.
I want the music to start playing at runtime and continue to loop for now. I will eventually want to switch up the background music depending on which form the user is on. But for now I would be happy just getting a single mp3 to play continuously.
Is it possible I can read in a file as such to a byte array or other method & have the file playback from memory & not a file on the filesystem?
I am trying to do this because the file may be deleted right away if it's not needed & if I can add it to a byte array I can clean up before it starts playing & clear the files but if I have to keep them if the program is ended abruptly or crashes then it never gets a chance to clean up & I don't want to chance files being left behind for a long time till my program is re-opened to clear them...
NOTE:The files i'm trying to play currently are .mp3 files if that makes a difference for the method(s) I have to use if any exist to allow it to play from memory...
I have some audio, mp3, files on a website/server.How can I play them from an app on my pc without downloading the tracks?
