Play Sounds

[yooooooshi]

Hi!
I tried to play a Sound with

Sound(AppPath & "\sounds\sound.wav")

This worked on my Pc, but when I tryed the same on my HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5, i couldn't hear a sound.

Can anybody help me?

could you upload your application?

There should be no problem with that line of code.
Maybe a typo in the foldername or the name of the .wav file on the device?
Are the .wav files conected to the media player on the device?

Hi,
no, they are not connected to the media player.
Thanks a lot for your answer! I'll try to connect them to the media player.

That should'nt make any difference. You probably just spelled the file path wrong, or the file is corrupt. Either way you should still hear a "beep" noise. If nothing works you can launch WMP with the file path as a parameter

It should because that's what the connection of file extensions is used for.

If you use a wrong path or filename no beep is played on the device.

That's one solution but I think it is better to use the file connection so the individual preferred sound player is opened instead of a special application.

Sorry Specci but he's correct on that one. The "Sound" keyword calls the Windows API "PlaySound" function on both desktop and device and that has nothing to do with file associations as they only map a file type to a default application. In this case no application is concerned in playing the file, the OS does it itself.

You are however correct in that the device seems to have no default sound, that only seems to be implemented on the desktop.

One all! :sign0089:

Hello.
I have tried it both on desktop and device.The sound plays well.

Sound("ph4.wav")

Neither "apppath" keyword no backslash.

I have tried different versions, compiled, on device (htc Touch HD) and desktop (XP).
Sound(AppPAth&"\Sound.wav")
Sound("Sound.wav")
Sound(AppPAth&"\Sounds\Sound.wav")
Sound("\Sounds\Sound.wav") device only

ALL work well !

Best regards.
