 Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 9:44 am Post subject: [C#] playing 2 wave files at the same time ?! |
 |
|
is it possible?
i mean i have a first file called sound1.wav and second file sound2.wav
now i created thread so both files won't interrupt
it goes that way:
on the form loading i play on loop the first file so the music won't stop
and also i created thread that will have a condition that if it's true so it will play the second file at background
but still the first will be played
but for some reason i don't know why
when i turn on the thread it stops the first file and then play the second one
and after the second file is done it's not returning back to the first file
any suggestions !?

Most media players can only play one stream at a time. I doubt you will be able to do this unless you use several media player components. And when you use a media player component you depend on that your cusomters/users have it installed.

so how does games can play few wave files at the same time
take counter strike for example
i can throw a grenade and at the same time switch to gun and shoot
and i will hear both explosion and shooting sound
that's what i'm want to do

asynchronous media playing? im pretty sure you will have to develop it by urself. why do you need to play 2 at the same time anyway?

PlaySound API with the SND_ASYNC flag.

i'm writing some lame game in C# for school
so i thought it'd be nice to have a background music
but when i press on some button it will play the other file but still i'll hear the background music
@lurc
same thing happened, when i play other wave file it stops the background music

it must involve async programming. try playing through DirectX maybe?

Sorry, my bad.
I forgot to tell you to also include the flag SND_NOSTOP.
Without it, it attempts to stop the currently playing sound to play the one currently being requested.

okay now it's playing and not stopping the music
but it also doesn't play the other file
it's like button press isn't responding

Show me your source code.
And you're including SND_FILENAME right? Since they're .WAV files not located within memory?
Try GetLastError also to see what's up.

i'm not including since the first parameter is contain the file's path
but never mind that didn't help too
and my code goes like that:
| Code: |
System.Threading.Thread Thread1, Thread2;
private const int SND_ASYNC = 0x0001;
private const int SND_NOSTOP = 0x0010;
private const int SND_LOOP = 0x0008;
private const int SND_FILENAME = 0x00020000;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread1 = new System.Threading.Thread(func);
Thread2 = new System.Threading.Thread(func2);
Thread1.Start();
}
private void func()
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
PlaySound(@"xxx.wav path", IntPtr.Zero, SND_ASYNC | SND_NOSTOP | SND_LOOP | SND_FILENAME);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
}
private void func2()
{
PlaySound(@"xxx2.wav Path", IntPtr.Zero, SND_ASYNC | SND_NOSTOP | SND_FILENAME);
}
private void btnSound_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
func2();
}
|
i included SND_LOOP too so the first wav will play itself over and over
btw ignore the second thread it's useless i'll remove it later

Put this in func2
| Code: | if (PlaySound(@"xxx2.wav path", IntPtr.Zero, SND_ASYNC | SND_NOSTOP | SND_FILENAME))
MessageBox.Show("It returned success...");
else
MessageBox.Show("Failure"); |
Btw I haven't worked with C# to much, so what does the "path" do inside the string?

That part throws me off as well.
Would I be correct to assume you are using mciSendString?

Alright I did a little digging around and I found an Audio Library for C#.
Hope this helps.
