Visual Basic :: Play And Record Sound

I Found Record/Play Sound For Vb
Hi
I found Wave play/Recorder code for Visual Basic
This question is about the

mciSendStringA
it said it was not registered..
i found a piece of code on the net, that , records, plays
sounds, but i need to register it.
i made the interface and added the controls on the form
ran the record, then ran the play and it said the command
i was tring to send when i click the play click on the form
was not registered, is this on my computer that its not registered, i attached a file see if you get the same error message, you dont get a break mode with this error, windows
sends the error, when you click ok it returns to the program.
I just don't understand what do i need to register. Maybe
you need to register to record and play sounds bet me
i am confused with this error.
the project i included
File name of the zip
"recordSound.zip"
Thanks

How Do You Play A Sound?
I am new to VB and wondering how do you play a sound?

The sound I am trying to play is a .wav but I would also like to know how to play .mp3's. Are they the same code? Hope you can help me.

How Do I Play Sound
Hi everybody, first post here. I've been reading for about two weeks now on this forum and have register the other day.

I have tried many examples on sounds from this site. I do get some to work, yet the one's I don't get is if I was going to compile and burn to disk. I understand about asigning a .dir (path) if I don't burn to disk.

This is what I'd like to do if possible:

I like to compile my project and save it to disk and If possible (unless there's a better way) take the .wav or .mp3 and burn to disk along with the .exe and maybe putting the .wav or .mp3 as a hidden file. Not sure if that's a good ideal.

My main concern is if I put it on disk (cd) is: not everybody drive letter is the same. I've seen some examples but to extract the bits and pieces, is still down the road for me. So with that concern I've tried this below.

I have tried this with error

PlaySound app.path & "" & "Track1.wav", ByVal 0&, SND_FILENAME Or SND_ASYNC Or SND_ASYNC Or SND_LOOP Or SND_PURGE

(Now let's say I have a song and it's is name Track1.wav -does any other part of the above code change?)

What throws me is I look at other sample and it starts: PlaySound app.path & "Track1.wav"

I don't really know where to put it. I've tried Form load, I've tried General Declarations.

I get 'sub or function not defined'

A lot of threads (a lot of good reading) I'm at a stand still.

Thanks

ps this is not a half to; it's only I want to.

API To Play A .wav Sound
Hello,

I need help with playing wave files in VB. I've tested OLE-controls, but since my VB version is very old (3.0 in fact), the OLEs don't work too well. I want to try playing .wav files by an API commando. VB helpfile only directs me to the Windows 3.1 API helpfile, which I don't find coz I have XP.

So, where do I find the API help in XP?
Or, if you know how an API command, and declarations, for playing a simple wave sound, please tell me!

Thanks by forehand,

Play Sound
With the

sndPlaySound Lib "winmm" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" _
(ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

what is the difference between:

Public Const SND_SYNC = &H0 ' play synchronously (default)
Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1 ' play asynchronously

ie. what is the difference when you play a sound synchronously vs. asynchronously?

thANKS!

How Can I Get A Sound To Play More Than Once?
I have enabled my program to have the ability to play a wav. file. It will only play once, though. I used Microsoft Multimedia Control 6.0 (MCI32.OCX) and tied it into a Command Button to get it to play. This is what it looks like:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MMControl1.FileName = "C:mysoundsBoogyman1.wav"
MMControl1.Command = "open"
MMControl1.Command = "Play"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
MMControl1.PlayEnabled = True
End Sub

I'm pretty much a beginner and feel that I'm missing something obvious. What might the Keyword, Function, Property, etc. be that would allow the MMC to "rewind" itself and allow the Command Button to be used again? Sounds are very important to me and I would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks in advance.

Give me a reason to believe that there is a reason to believe.

What Is The Code To Play A Sound?
I'm quite new to vb, and I was wondering how to simply play a sound. I have checked out some sample files with sound in them, but I can't get them to work in my project. What i'm actually trying to do is add in some background music for my 'pong' type game. I wanted it to start when the form loaded, but it didn't work. the following is what I had in my module.

'The following is in the general declarations
Private Declare Function dcPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

'This next part is when the frame loads. which is pretty self explanitory since it says so.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strSong As String
strSong = "A:PongPong_FilesPongMusic.mp3"
Call dcPlaySound(strSong, 0, SND_USUAL)
End Sub

could someone please help me?

Problem With Play Sound Using API
Hi. This code lets us play at a click of a button. Only problem with this is that it tells "complie error, variable not define."

What's wrong?

And hw can i stop it from playing at a click of the same button again?

Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "WINMM.DLL" _
Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Const cSndSYNC = &H0, cSndASYNC = &H1
Const cSndNODEFAULT = &H2
Const cSndLOOP = &H8, cSndNOSTOP = &H10

Private Sub cmdPlaySound_Click()
SoundName$ = "D:Dianawavescript_1.wav"
result = sndPlaySound(SoundName$, cSndASYNC Or cSndNODEFAULT)
End Sub

Play Sound From Resource
I've done some research here on the forum and I came up with an example that doesn't work in my program:

Code:
PlaySound ByVal 101, App.hInstance, SND_RESOURCE Or SND_ASYNC

I have all the things in a module:

Code:
Public Const SND_APPLICATION = &H80 ' look for application specific association
Public Const SND_ALIAS = &H10000 ' name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry
Public Const SND_ALIAS_ID = &H110000 ' name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry identifier
Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1 ' play asynchronously
Public Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000 ' name is a file name
Public Const SND_LOOP = &H8 ' loop the sound until next sndPlaySound
Public Const SND_MEMORY = &H4 ' lpszSoundName points to a memory file
Public Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2 ' silence not default, if sound not found
Public Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10 ' don't stop any currently playing sound
Public Const SND_NOWAIT = &H2000 ' don't wait if the driver is busy
Public Const SND_PURGE = &H40 ' purge non-static events for task
Public Const SND_RESOURCE = &H40004 ' name is a resource name or atom
Public Const SND_SYNC = &H0 ' play synchronously (default)
Public Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

If I put a filename instead of the resource it works, but with resource it doesn't work... what is the problem?
