Simulataneous Sound Effects?

[Chris Tacke, eMVP]

You'll have to use the waveOutxxx APIs and run a mixer.

I've been able to play .wav sounds in my C# program
by calling the native PlaySound method, but how do
I play overlapping or simulataneous sounds?

A new sound effect always seems to cut off the one that is playing.

Thanks,

Drew

Is there a C# code snippet I could look at that does this?

[Dan Fergus]

How about this one...

Exactly, but it's a far cry from C# or VB.NET

 

[Drew]

Yeah, I don't have much clue with that code.

I need a C# example.

Actually what I need is built-in sound support in C#!

The OpenNETCF code is probably 80-90% of the way to what you're after. In
fact I *styarted* that project from code that mixed several sounds and it
"evolved" to what you see today.

Have a look on my site http://www.Intuitex.com for the hekkus sound
library (freeware, open source). That does exactly waht you want, with
vb and c# samples. The only price you ahve to pay is including a small
c++ dll along with your application.

Check out http://www.shlzero.com/hss.asp -- It's pretty cool and probobly
does what you're after. I also have a thin wrapper over the
http://www.fmod.org/ libraries as well (they may be posted on the site
already, not sure).
