Play a sound file with SoundPlay Does not work.

[Dsmoeg999]

Hi guys I have downloaded a .WAV sound I have stored it in a different disk than C. I have saved it in a folder and then in another folder.
When I use the example in the documentation it works.

SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav", 1)

I have also tried to put the path in a different way and it doesn't work, can anyone guide me?

This is what I have tried

SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "D:\MyFolder\Example\sound.wav", 1)
SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "D:/MyFolder/Example/sound.wav", 1)

Why are you using @WindowsDir? Keep in mind that that's a macro used to point to your Windows folder, so for me it's: C:\WINDOWS

This means your paths are:

• C:\WINDOWS\media\tada.wav
• C:\WINDOWSD:\MyFolder\Example\sound.wav

That first one should be correct, but the second one definitely isn't. Does "D:\MyFolder\Example\sound.wav" work without @WindowsDir?

Also, you may have whatever process is playing the sound muted in your Volume Mixer. I would try playing the sound in a loop and look at the volume mixer for what's the playing the sound and make sure it's not muted. The SoundPlay example for tada.wav worked for me.

Thank you @mistersquirrle simply removing @WindowsDir and specifying the sound path works fine.
