Visual Basic 2010 - Play sound on buttons

Background playing

It lets the application execute other code while the sound plays. The My.Computer.Audio.Play method allows the application to play only one background sound at a time; when the application plays a new background sound, it stops playing the previous background sound. You can also play a sound and wait for it to complete.

For Visual Basic 2010 and in general, when an application plays a looping sound, it should eventually stop the sound. For more information, see How to: Stop Playing Sounds in the Background in Visual Basic 2010.

Example

The My.Computer.Audio.Play method plays a sound. When AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete is specified, My.Computer.Audio.Play waits until the sound completes before calling code continues.

Check that the file name references a .wav sound file on your system.

Sub PlayBackgroundSoundFile()

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

End Sub

The My.Computer.Audio.Play method plays a sound. When AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete is specified, My.Computer.Audio.Play waits until the sound completes before calling code continues.

Check that the application resources include a .wav sound file named Waterfall.

Sub PlayBackgroundSoundResource()

My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Waterfall,
AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete)

End Sub
