Visual Basic 2010 Express Tutorial 21 - Playing Sound Files - SpeakABCs 5/11

http://www.SchoolFreeware.com
For this tutorial, wav sound files will be used. This tutorial will cover three ways sound files can be played: Hard coded, part of the solution, and by relative location.

For relative location use Application.StartupPath

For example if a.wav is within the WAV_Folder, then the code to play would be:

My.Computer.Audio.Play(Application.StartupPath + "\WAV_Folder\a.wav")

When I run it, the sound can't be played. It closes and shows an error

What do I have to do?

@334anoniem What is the error message? Also, the code can be downloaded at SchoolFreeware's website.

Is there a way to make the sound files a part of the.exe file?? in other words combine the sound file into the .exe so that there is no folder after building the project??? if there isnt then is there a way to automatically send the sound files to the computers %Temp% folder?? i want to create a project that has sound and i want to distribute it to my friends but i dont want them to mess the sound files up or accidentlyMove them, so could someone tell me how to do either of my ideas?OranotherWay

Help! I can't find the sound files! Would someone end me the link?

it was awsome dude...

[glaserhonza]

Okay, you can do it much easier than playing a sounds! -ENTER- means end of the line

Sub speak (byval text as string) - next line -

dim speech as object = createobject ("sapi.spvoice") -next line -

speech.speak(text) -next line -

end sub

-next line -

You can call this sub and give any text as an argument - > speak("Hello")

@SchoolFreeware It says something like "It's not valid wave" something like that.
