Play an audio file in Windows 7 Phone

Hi I am working on Windows 7 based application development in Silverlight. I have not been able to find a way to play a an audio file in windows 7 phone programmatically. I have been googling it since past few days but i could not get any solution of that. There is a class SoundPlayer in C# but i guess its not available in Windows 7 Phone. Can anyone please help?

Best Regards

Use Xna to play the sound. You can cross reference Xna from a Silverlight app though, for playing a sound file, you need to the following:

using Microsoft.Xna.Framework; using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio // ... Stream stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream("sounds/bonk.wav"); SoundEffect effect = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream); FrameworkDispatcher.Update(); effect.Play(); 

All the best for your application development!

You can place a MediaElement in your XAML view:

<MediaElement      x:Name="sound"      Source="sound.wma"      AutoPlay="False" /> 

then in the code-behind:

sound.Play(); 

Supported formats are MP3 and WMA.

You can also try the MediaPlayerLauncher. For more information and sample code take a look at the following article.

How about simply use a built-in behavior?

<Button>     <i:Interaction.Triggers>        <i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">            <eim:PlaySoundAction Source="/Alarm1.wma" Volume="1"/>        </i:EventTrigger>     </i:Interaction.Triggers> </Button> 

You need these two namespaces.

xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"  xmlns:eim="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Expression.Interactivity.Media;assembly=Microsoft.Expression.Interactions"
