I really don't know what's the problem here, I'd be glad for a help, I'm trying to change the volume of the output audio.
When I compile this code I'm getting an error in the output.volume = 0.5. The error is:
Setting volume not supported on DirectSoundOut, adjust the volume on your WaveProvider instead.
It means, use the Volume property on WaveChannel32 instead. Also, unless you are using an old version of NAudio, the BlockAlignReductionStream and the WaveFormatConversion stream are unneccessary, since MP3FileReader emits PCM.

I am another person dabbling with C# and wanting to create a simple audio application that plays wav files loaded into the program via an upload program. My issue is that I need to get whatever audio file currently being played to pause with the track timer of the audio file being used when I start the audio file again via my Play button. I already have a global timer, 'baseTimer', that I think I can use to set the audio file, that was stopped, track duration point. However I do not know how to accomplish this nor do I really know how to use all of the mci commands yet.
I have displayed all of my code for my main application... I also have read that I may need to utilize threading, but I've also read that it would be impossible to set an audio files track duration with a thread.

Edit:
For clarity currentaudio has a file as such "music3.wav" or "talk1.wav" in it.
Super old question but just for anyone looking here's what worked for me:
double currentPos = audioplayer.CurrentPosition;
audioplayer.Play();
audioplayer.Seek(currentPos);
SoundPlayer is extremely limited, and doesn't support Pause and Resume. Are you able to use the WPF MediaElement instead? You will find it is much more powerful, supporting playing files of many types, repositioning, setting volume, pausing and resuming. You can also use it to get the file length instead of mci.
I am creating an application for WP7.1 with Phonegap in which I have to download a video and save it in Isolated Storage.
Now while reading that video, for the first time I can read it correctly, but after that I am not able to read the stream. This exception occurs every I try to read that video after I have read it once : Operation not permitted on IsolatedStorageFileStream.
Taken the code from : How to play embedded video in WP7 - Phonegap?
and added Pause and Stop functionality.

** The exception (Operation not permitted on IsolatedStorageFileStream.) occurs at _Play function while reading the file (Please see ** in code above). First time it runs perfectly and when I come to read the file second time it gives Exception.
What might be the problem?
Is I am doing something wrong?
It sounds like the file is still open from the previous read. If this is the case, you need to specify the fileAccess and fileShare to allow it to be opened by another thread:
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream stream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, isoFile)
I solved this problem by just setting the source property of the MediaElement to null before navigating back. So, when i come back to play the same video, the MediaElement source is free for it.
Edited the GoBack Function to :
private void GoBack()
{
// see whole code from original question.................
_player.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
_player.Source = null; // added this line
_player = null;
//..................
}
Thanks All.
I want to playback a sound file in two or three external sound cards at the same time and I think that using threads is the solution but I really didn't know how to use it in the playback code.
This is the event makes on button play:
public partial class PlaybackForm : Form
{
IWavePlayer waveOut;
string fileName = null;
WaveStream mainOutputStream;
WaveChannel32 volumeStream;
int _deviceNum;
int _deviceNum1;
Thread t1;
Thread t2;
public PlaybackForm(int deviceNum,int deviceNum1)
{
InitializeComponent();
_deviceNum = deviceNum;
_deviceNum1 = deviceNum1;
}
private void buttonPlay_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (waveOut != null)
{
if (waveOut.PlaybackState == PlaybackState.Playing)
{
return;
}
else if (waveOut.PlaybackState == PlaybackState.Paused)
{
waveOut.Play();
return;
}
}
// we are in a stopped state
// TODO: only re-initialise if necessary
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
toolStripButtonOpenFile_Click(sender, e);
}
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
return;
}
try
{
CreateWaveOut();
}
catch (Exception driverCreateException)
{
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}", driverCreateException.Message));
return;
}
mainOutputStream = CreateInputStream(fileName);
trackBarPosition.Maximum = (int)mainOutputStream.TotalTime.TotalSeconds;
labelTotalTime.Text = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", (int)mainOutputStream.TotalTime.TotalMinutes,
mainOutputStream.TotalTime.Seconds);
trackBarPosition.TickFrequency = trackBarPosition.Maximum / 30;
try
{
waveOut.Init(mainOutputStream);
}
catch (Exception initException)
{
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}", initException.Message), "Error Initializing Output");
return;
}
// not doing Volume on IWavePlayer any more
volumeStream.Volume = volumeSlider1.Volume;
waveOut.Play();
}
And this is how to create the waveout:
private void CreateWaveOut()
{
CloseWaveOut();
int latency = (int)comboBoxLatency.SelectedItem;
//if (radioButtonWaveOut.Checked)
{
//WaveCallbackInfo callbackInfo = checkBoxWaveOutWindow.Checked ?
WaveCallbackInfo callbackInfo = WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback();
// WaveCallbackInfo callbackInfo = WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback();
// WaveCallbackInfo.NewWindow(): WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback();
WaveOut outputDevice = new WaveOut(callbackInfo);
outputDevice.DesiredLatency = latency;
outputDevice.DeviceNumber = _deviceNum;
waveOut = outputDevice;
}
}
I declared two deviceNum but until now I can playsound only in one device,that's why I want to use thread.
Can you help me please
Thank you in advance
Do something like that:
using System.Threading;
...
private void buttonPlay_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(this.PlaySound), 1);
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(this.PlaySound), 2);
}
private void PlaySound(object obj)
{
int deviceNumber = (int)obj;
// Do the stuff you used to do in buttonPlay_Click
WaveOut myWaveOut = CreateWaveOut(deviceNumber);
...
}
private WaveOut CreateWaveOut(int deviceNumber)
{
...
WaveOut outputDevice = new WaveOut(callbackInfo);
outputDevice.DesiredLatency = latency;
outputDevice.DeviceNumber = _deviceNum;
return outputDevice;
}
I am trying to use Symbol.WPAN.Bluetooth that comes with the EMDK for Symbol devices.
Does anyone happen to have a working example that transfers data?
Symbol's example just pairs the devices. (They apparently think that transfering data is not really needed in a Personal Area network example.)
Anyway, I know this is a long shot, but if anyone has gotten this to work I would love to see some code.
This is what I have tried. I have one device press button1 and another device press button2. The read value is always a zero length byte array.
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Symbol.WPAN;
using Symbol.WPAN.Bluetooth;

foreach (RemoteDevice remoteDevice in MakeEnumerable(bluetooth.RemoteDevices))
{
if ((remoteDevice.Name == "WM_Dan") && (remoteDevice.IsPaired == false))
{
remoteDevice.Pair();
connectedDevice = remoteDevice;
}
}
string test;
test = "Testing this out";
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] encTest = encoding.GetBytes(test);
if (connectedDevice != null)
{
connectedDevice.WriteTimeout = 20000;
connectedDevice.Write(encTest);
}
}
public static IEnumerable<RemoteDevice> MakeEnumerable(RemoteDevices devices)
{
for (var i = 0; i < devices.Length; i++)
{
yield return devices[i];
}
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bluetooth bluetooth = new Bluetooth();
if (bluetooth.IsEnabled != true)
{
bluetooth.Enable();
bluetooth.RadioMode = BTH_RADIO_MODE.BTH_DISCOVERABLE_AND_CONNECTABLE;
}
RemoteDevice connectedDevice = null;
foreach (RemoteDevice remoteDevice in MakeEnumerable(bluetooth.RemoteDevices))
{
if ((remoteDevice.Name == "WM_Dan2") && (remoteDevice.IsPaired == false))
{
remoteDevice.Pair();
connectedDevice = remoteDevice;
}
}
string test;
test = "Testing this out";
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] encTest = encoding.GetBytes(test);
byte[] encTest2;
string test2;
if (connectedDevice != null)
{
connectedDevice.ReadTimeout = 20000;
encTest2 = connectedDevice.Read(encTest.Length);
test2 = encoding.GetString(encTest2, 0, encTest2.Length);
MessageBox.Show(test2);
}
}
}
}
I gave up on using the built in com port connection and opened a SerialPort object on the connection.
SerialPort sp = new SerialPort();
sp.PortName = "COM" + connectedDevice.LocalComPort.ToString();
sp.BaudRate = 9600;
sp.DataBits = 8;
sp.Parity = Parity.None;
sp.StopBits = StopBits.One;
sp.Open();
sp.Open();
sp.DataReceived += new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(sp_DataReceived);
sp.ErrorReceived += new SerialErrorReceivedEventHandler(sp_ErrorReceived);
sp.WriteLine(textBoxSend.Text);
I also found that even though their docs said that LocalComPort was auto assigned, this was not always the truth. It was best to use their BTExplorer to set it first.
As well, there OpenComPort would work in situations where is should not -- using Reflector it is pretty obviously wrong. There are checking the return of ::CreateFile("COM" + port...) against 0 instead of -1 (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
I don't know if this can ever help anyone, but here is an old piece of code that I wrote a few years back.
You'll have to clean it up so that it works for your application. My app had a TextBox control that it read from and logged errors to a Global class. Change that to work with what you have, and it should basically be good.
