sndPlaySound Wont play

[rentagoth]

Hi
Im back =)

Well I was trying to play a .wav file from my app path with

PlaySound("BELLS.wav",NULL,SND_FILENAME|SND_LOOP|SND_ASYNC);

and tryed

sndPlaySound ("BELLS.wav",SND_LOOP|SND_ASYNC);

the PlaySound wont do nothing but the sndPlaySound will make beeps like the is not in the apppath witch it was

So.... I gave up and moved on an tryed playing it from the resources.
I added the resources an the BEELS.wav to the resources
An used this code to try to play it

sndPlaySound(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAVE1), SND_RESOURCE |SND_ASYNC );

and tryed

PlaySound(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAVE1), SND_RESOURCE |SND_ASYNC );

and tryed

HANDLE sndBoing;
HRSRC hResInfo = FindResource(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAVE1), "WAVE");
hResInfo = FindResource(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAVE1), "WAVE");
sndBoing = LoadResource(hInstance, hResInfo);
const char* sndRes = (const char*)LockResource(sndBoing);
PlaySound(sndRes, SND_MEMORY|SND_ASYNC|SND_NODEFAULT);
UnlockResource(sndRes);

But none of the worked

I was trying to play a .wav file from my app path with

PlaySound("BELLS.wav",NULL,SND_FILENAME|SND_LOOP|SND_ASYNC);

Well, it is obvious that the "current working directory" might be not the same as the one containing "BELLS.wav" file.
You have to pass in the full pathe name to the PlaySound call.

An used this code to try to play it

sndPlaySound(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAVE1), SND_RESOURCE |SND_ASYNC );

1. Of course, it is wrong. And it cannot just compile!
You forgot the second parameter that must be the handle to the executable file that contains the resource to be loaded.
The correct call should look like:

PlaySound(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAVE1), AfxGetResourceHandle(), SND_RESOURCE | SND_ASYNC );

2. Is the IDR_WAVE1 correct ID? Or it looks like the text "IDR_WAVE1"?
In latter case you must not use MAKEINTRESOURCE macro - just:

PlaySound("IDR_WAVE1", AfxGetResourceHandle(), SND_RESOURCE | SND_ASYNC );

I tryed that and none of them worked.

Maybe is me trying to play the sound in my .dll

Ok playsound will not work in my .dll for nothing
PlaySound("C:\\BELLS.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME);

but this works
sndPlaySound ("C:\\BELLS.wav",SND_LOOP|SND_ASYNC)

how do I use sndPlaySound to play a sound from my resources

Here is was my resource script file looks like
////////////////////////////HL2.rs///////////////////////
// Microsoft Visual C++ generated resource script.
//
#include "resource.h"

#define APSTUDIO_READONLY_SYMBOLS
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED

2 TEXTINCLUDE

#endif // APSTUDIO_INVOKED

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#endif // not APSTUDIO_INVOKED




here is what my resource.h looks like
/////////////////////resource.h///////////////////////
//{{NO_DEPENDENCIES}}

#define IDR_WAVE1 102

#define _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE 101
#endif
#endif


here is what my code looks like
Im trying to do all this in a .dll not an .exe

Srry for the slopy post I dont see a code block option on the post

...
Im trying to do all this in a .dll not an .exe

What type of dll? Is it an MFC dll or not? If MFC - is it a regular or estension dll?
How are you using this dll?

[rentagoth]

What type of dll? Is it an MFC dll or not? If MFC - is it a regular or estension dll?
How are you using this dll?

My Use of MFC is set to Use Standard Windows Libraries

And what about:

PlaySound(_T(".Default"),NULL, SND_APPLICATION|SND_NODEFAULT);

this will play default bell sound in windows.

Sorry, but I couldn't understand what you meant.

... Im trying to do all this in a .dll not an .exe

And would the same code work if you placed it in the exe?

[rentagoth]

And would the same code work if you placed it in the exe?

this is that code that worked in the .exe

PlaySound("BELLS.WAV", NULL, SND_ASYNC);
It play the bells.wave from where the .exe is

[VictorN]

this is that code that worked in the .exe

PlaySound("BELLS.WAV", NULL, SND_ASYNC);
It play the bells.wave from where the .exe is

Well, if this code does work being in exe and does NOT work being in dll then 99.9% that the problem is in your dll.
Therefore I already asked you but haven't got an answer:

What type of dll? Is it an MFC dll or not? If MFC - is it a regular or estension dll?
How are you using this dll?

Note, that if it is an MFC regular dll then you have to add

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState( ));

to the beginning of the exported functions. See MSDN for details

Nvm I just gave up on it
Thank you for your help =)
much appreciated
