ineedh3lp Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Hello! Several of my AutoIt scripts and compiled scripts apparently cease randomly to be able to play sounds (all of them at once, so maybe it is AutoIt and system related). This is fixed only after I restart the computer, but then happens again- sometimes after a few hours, other times after a few days. Is this a known behaviour of AutoIt, and if so, is there a fix to it? I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Thank you! Edited September 16, 2011 by ineedh3lp
ineedh3lp Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Bumping this a bit, sorry. Has anyone encountered similar issues?
JohnOne Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Cannot say I've heard that one before, probably a good Idea to state your Autoit version in case someone can help.

ineedh3lp Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 I have the latest AutoIt version, but I'm starting to doubt that AutoIt has something to do with this directly and that's because compiled scripts stop playing sounds, so it's not AutoIt running scripts anymore. Probably it's something system specific and it only happens in certain conditions. That would explain why this has not been reported before.
JohnOne Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Compiled scripts are still ran by AutoIt, pretty much in the same fashion they are when not compiled. EDIT: Are you using latest release, or latest beta?

guinness Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Did you use _SoundPlay() or SoundPlay() or Beep() or the BASS UDF?

ineedh3lp Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 I used SoundPlay() SoundPlay(@ScriptDir & "\_resources\audio-Lucy22.wav", 1) What's the main difference between the two of them?

ripdad Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Try this ... SoundPlay(@ScriptDir & "\_resources\audio-Lucy22.wav", 1) SoundPlay(''); Close the handle when sound has finished "The mediocre teacher tells. The Good teacher explains.

ineedh3lp Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 Try this ... Thank you! I will do that and report back if it works or not after some time.
ineedh3lp Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 Try this ... SoundPlay(@ScriptDir & "\_resources\audio-Lucy22.wav", 1) SoundPlay(''); Close the handle when sound has finished Nope, unfortunately that doesn't help.
Syed23 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) why don't _SoundPlay() function? you can refer the help file too... Try this... _SoundOpen(@ScriptDir & "\_resources\audio-Lucy22.wav", 1) _SoundPlay($sound, 1) _SoundClose($sound) Edited September 27, 2011 by Syed23 Thank you,Regards,[font="Garamond"][size="4"]K.Syed Ibrahim.[/size][/font]
ineedh3lp Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 why don't _SoundPlay() function? you can refer the help file too... Tried that as well. Sound still doesn't play. Now, if I restart the computer, the sound will surely play, so the question is what prevents AutoIt from playing sounds after a while.I guess it will be very hard to track down the cause since others do not experience this issue.
ripdad Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I see you're using wav's for the file type. As an experiment, you might try converting them to mp3. This will cause it to use the mp3 codec with a different encoding. Doesn't hurt to give it a shot! You'll have to adjust your script accordingly. audio-Lucy22.wav --> audio-Lucy22.mp3 "The mediocre teacher tells. The Good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.

ineedh3lp Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 I see you're using wav's for the file type.As an experiment, you might try converting them to mp3.Tried that as well, still no luck. I'll experiment with the system.sound object to see if I get any results while this behaviour is in effect.
ripdad Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 It's evident that the audio driver crashes when it's in that state. Did you try it after a fresh reboot? It would be nice to see a sample relevant code, so I can see the calling mechanism. ie: a select/switch statement perhaps? "The mediocre teacher tells. The Good teacher explains.

ineedh3lp Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 It's just a simple audio notification at the end of the script, nothing fancy in regard to how it's called. I even tried on a fresh script, same issue. Regarding audio driver crashes- unlikely since I'm not having any audio output issues with any other applications (audio/video players, system sounds, etc).
ripdad Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Well, I'm out of ideas then. Good luck with it. I'm sure there's an answer to it. "The mediocre teacher tells. The Good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." -William Arthur Ward
