Windows API "Playsound" not working.......

Bekki Black · 2011-04-10T01:13:22

I linked winMM, it compiles, but it doesn't play the target file. I included a .wav file to the project, made a function declaration for the filename and such, plus flags, included mmsystem.h and used a wParam switch statement under WM_KEYUP case label with a VK_ESCAPE function so when you press escape it will call on the PlaySound function but it just makes an error noise when you play it and fails. Here's the exact code I'm using..... #include <d3d9.h> #include <mmsystem.h> BOOL PlaySound(LPCSTR FILE, HMODULE FLAG, DWORD OTHER); LPDIRECT3D9 g_pD3D = NULL; LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 g_pD3DDevice = NULL; HRESULT InitialiseD3D(HWND hWnd) { // First of all, create the main D3D object. If it is created successfully // we should get a pointer to an IDirect3D8 interface. g_pD3D = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION); if(g_pD3D == NULL) { return E_FAIL; } //Get the current display mode D3DDISPLAYMODE d3ddm; if(FAILED(g_pD3D->GetAdapterDisplayMode(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, &d3ddm))) { return E_FAIL; } // Create a structure to hold the settings for our device D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dpp; ZeroMemory(&d3dpp, sizeof(d3dpp)); // Fill the structure: Program shall be windowed, // back buffer format matches current display mode d3dpp.Windowed = TRUE; d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD; d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = d3ddm.Format; //Create a Direct3D device. if(FAILED(g_pD3D->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hWnd, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, &d3dpp, &g_pD3DDevice))) { return E_FAIL; } return S_OK; } void Render() { if(g_pD3DDevice == NULL) { return; } // Clear the backbuffer to blue g_pD3DDevice->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0, 0, 255), 1.0f, 0); // Begin the scene g_pD3DDevice->BeginScene(); // Fill in here the rendering of other objects // End the scene g_pD3DDevice->EndScene(); // Fill back and front buffers so that back buffer will be visible on screen g_pD3DDevice->Present(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); } void CleanUp() { if(g_pD3DDevice != NULL) { g_pD3DDevice->Release(); g_pD3DDevice = NULL; } if(g_pD3D != NULL) { g_pD3D->Release(); g_pD3D = NULL; } } void MainLoop() { // Enter the main loop MSG msg; BOOL bMessage; PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0U, 0U, PM_NOREMOVE); while(msg.message != WM_QUIT) { bMessage = PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0U, 0U, PM_REMOVE); if(bMessage) { // Process message TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } else { Render(); // No message to process -> render the scene } }// while } // The windows message handler LRESULT WINAPI WinProc(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(msg) { case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage(0); return 0; break; case WM_KEYUP: switch (wParam) { case VK_ESCAPE: // Escape key pressed -> PlaySound should return true. PlaySound("blah.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME); break; } break; }// switch return DefWindowProc(hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam); } // Application main entry point INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, INT) { //Register the window class WNDCLASSEX wc = { sizeof(WNDCLASSEX), CS_CLASSDC, WinProc, 0L, 0L, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, "DirectX Project", NULL }; RegisterClassEx(&wc); // Create the application's main window HWND hWnd = CreateWindow("DirectX Project of mine", "MY project", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 50, 50, 500, 500, GetDesktopWindow(), NULL, wc.hInstance, NULL); // Initialize Direct3D if(SUCCEEDED(InitialiseD3D(hWnd))) { // Show window ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOWDEFAULT); UpdateWindow(hWnd); //Start game running: Enter the game loop MainLoop(); } CleanUp(); UnregisterClass("DirectX Project", wc.hInstance); return 0; } Anyone have an idea what the issue could be, besides DirectX's interference? Also, it's not the fact that I'm not using <windows.h>. DirectX's <d3d9.h> includes it itself, so it's not that problem.

Hi again Just tryed it, in my app and it worked for me.

Try calling

[color="#008000"][color="#008000"]// Init COM so we can use CoCreateInstance

CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);

and when you close the app you need to call this must do it or else...

[color="#008000"][color="#008000"]

// Cleanup COM

CoUninitialize();

To add, I'm also very angry and upset and unsatisfied at the help I've been getting here.

I provided the complete code, all-around info, and no help. I've been at this for 3 weeks now and still can't even hear a sound being played in a window, sadly....It really pisses me off and I'm tired of not getting any real help.
