Examples

The My.Computer.Audio.Play method plays the specified sound in the background when AudioPlayMode.Background is specified.

Sub PlayBackgroundSoundFile()
    My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:\Waterfall.wav", 
        AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete)
End Sub

This code can run only within a Windows Forms application.

The file name should reference a .wav sound file on your system.

To simplify the management of your sound files, consider storing the files as application resources. The files can then be accessed through the My.Resources object.

Remarks

You can use the My.Computer.Audio.Play and My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound methods to play .wav sound files and system sounds.

For more information, see Playing Sounds.
