For stopping by, is there a way to detect when a sound file (WAV) stops playing?
e.g.> There is a FORM with a PLAY button on which is coded to play a WAV file. But how does VB detect when the WAV file has finished playing?
Here is the code I have on the PLAY button
My.Computer.Audio.Play("test.wav", AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
I have done an extensive search before posting this question, using many different search parameters without success at finding an answer.Using Visual Studio 2008 Express VB:My program requires a notification when a wav file has finished playing, a media player song list will not suit my needs.I have used System.Media.SoundPlayer, Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound and My.Computer.Audio.Play to play a wav file. All work well at playing and stopping the requested wav. So far, I have not found a methode to capture an event when the wav has ended. DirectSound stops playing when the form has lost focus, so I dont think that I can use it. Audio.Play AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete only holds up other operations and I dont want to create multiple threads.

View 1 RepliesIm looking to play a sound from a folder which is in my debug directory. I got this working for a PictureBox: PictureBox1.ImageLocation() = ("Resourcespicture.png"). But I cant find something to play a sound. This is what I had before: My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:Users......Soundseep-2.wav"). I dont really want to be writing the location of the files using special directories. Is there any way I can just set the location of the file to the directory in which the .exe is.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to use direct sound to play a wav file, so I may animate a picture box while the wav file is playing. I have made a device object and a secondary buffer object and when I run the program I get an error message(see attached image), but after I click continue, the wav file plays and it plays every time I click the play wav button. I am using a test project to work out the bugs before I implement the direct sound in my other project. Below is the the code I am using. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? The code needs a form named form1, and a button named xPlayButton.

This works great, but I would like to make it so that I can tell it to play the sound file starting at, for example, 3 seconds and ending at 9 seconds in. For instance, I could have 2 Numeric Up Down boxes on my form and whatever NuD1.value = is the lower range and NuD2.value = higher range.
How do I specify at what point in the sound file I want to start and at what point in that same file I want to stop?
I have background sound loop with the My.Computer.Audio and it works fine. I want to play another sound (like a beep) when desired without stopping the background sound. Several examples I have found don't seem to work. I am in VB.NET 2008 Professional.

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

These tones will be 2 slightly different frequencies.
I tried to start a thread a week or so ago, but I did not make it clear exactly what I needed, and did not get my project started yet.
I have a VB.NET application that crashes on a client's computer with a BSOD error... KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR.This error occurs at a point where my program does two things:
Locks the computer
Plays a sound in BackgroundLoop mode
For locking the work station, I am just using this:
<DllImport("user32")> _
Public Shared Sub LockWorkStation()
End Sub
For playing the sound, I am doing this:
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("somesound"), AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
Now, this sound loops until the user logs back in. My software detects the session state switch and stops playing the sound. Sometimes when I log back in, the sound card plays garbage data for a split second, instead of the rest of the audio buffer. I get the impression that this has something to do with session switching.Could my client be having an issue where there is memory corruption occurring at the point of locking the computer?I apologize for the vagueness of this post... I am not sure where to begin as I cannot reproduce the problem myself.
Edit: If the sound is left to play on its own, even without locking the computer, eventually the computer will lock up and then bluescreen. Playing the sound while locking at the same causes it to happen sooner.
Edit #2: So I've seen it fail now. The sound loop starts playing correctly but quickly switches to looping of garbage data. It's as if it is just reading a random location in memory and looping that. Very strange behavior!
I want to have a applacation then wehen somthing happens (like, uhh a error message but without the message box.) what would be the code that plays the windows alert sounds, and one that applies to the current sound scheme i have running.
