What version of visual basic are you using 6.0/.NET? And you just want a background audio file to play?

This isn't working?

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

This isn't working?

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

nope nothing plays, what i do remember form programing class is that you import your file to resources (which i did) and in there some were it says My.resources.

thats all i remeber

What error are you getting and are you "using" the right libraries?

Check here.. this appears to be the example you're looking for...

also note: The My.Computer.Audio.Play method is available only for Windows Forms applications, so make sure you're using the correct project type

im not getting any error, like my project will run normal except no sound from My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:\Waterfall.wav", AudioPlayMode.Background)

and what do you mean libraries are you talking about .wav?

And you added a resource named "tool" in this way?

Ok, just got a chance to try this out... When I run it I get this error.

"Sound API only supports PCM Wave files"

So get audiocatalyst or whatever to convert your file, then it should work.
