Sound is not playing

[xhbcoder]

Hi all,

What may be the cause of function sndPlaySound to fail. The speaker is functioning correctly.

Environment: windows xp, clip52 fw24

Thanks,

Jose

Jose,

Try it this way. Here its working fine with Clipper and Vista:

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   SndPlaySound( "test.wav", 0 )

return nil

DLL FUNCTION SndPlaySound( cFile AS LPSTR, nType AS WORD ) AS BOOL PASCAL LIB "MMSYSTEM.DLL"

Thanks,

Jose

Jose,

Got your files and this code is working fine with Clipper, FW 7.07 and Vista 32:

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main() 

   SndPlaySound( "startup.wav", 0 ) 

return nil 

DLL FUNCTION SndPlaySound( cFile AS LPSTR, nType AS WORD ) AS BOOL PASCAL LIB "MMSYSTEM.DLL"

I'm ever gotten that promble like you. But if the WAV file not long time it work. I think the WAV file not over 2 Minute be work fine.
