Load wav file into memory and play it with Autoit

[John81]

Does sombody know a way to load wav files into memory for faster playing with Autoit, because soundplay need 1 sec to read the wav from HDD.

#Include <WinAPIEx.au3>

Global $sWave = @ScriptDir & '\MySound.wav'
Global $iByte

$iSize = FileGetSize($sWave)
$tWave = DllStructCreate('byte[' & $iSize & ']')
$pWave = DllStructGetPtr($tWave)
$hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile($sWave, 2, 2)
_WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, $pWave, $iSize, $iByte)
_WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)

_WinAPI_PlaySound($pWave, BitOR($SND_ASYNC, $SND_MEMORY, $SND_NOWAIT))

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

It seems to be that I mixed up the link in my previous post!

Look here: or here: http://pastebin.com/KCpSRWs2

It is more or less the code which Yashied has posted in #3.

Thx u both for ur quick answers.

I think i want to use the because i have to add 30 wav files and its for me more comfortable to put it in my script, like this

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=C:\mysoundfile_1.wav, sound, mysoundfile_1
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=C:\mysoundfile_2.wav, sound, mysoundfile_2
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=C:\mysoundfile_3.wav, sound, mysoundfile_3 
;soon on soon to 30   

#include "resources.au3" 


If $Action1 = True Then 
_ResourcePlaySound("mysoundfile_1", $SND_ASYNC) 
;soon on soon to $Action 30

and i did compile the script, but it will not play the recource sound at the moment

John81,

Your code seems fine and I can play wav files as resources without problem using very similar commands.

What does AutoIt3Wrapper tell you when you try and load the files as resources? Could you post the output that you get in the SciTE console when compiling?

Have you checked with ResHacker that the resources are indeed loaded? Do not forget that you need to prevent upx from compressing the file or ResHacker will not display them, so you need a #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n line in there as well.

Hi Melba23,

At First i put now this in the line

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=C:\mysoundfile_1.wav, sound, mysoundfile_1
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=C:\mysoundfile_2.wav, sound, mysoundfile_2
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=C:\mysoundfile_3.wav, sound, mysoundfile_3 
;soon on soon to 30   

#include "resources.au3" 

If $Action1 = True Then 
_ResourcePlaySound("mysoundfile_1", $SND_ASYNC) 
;soon on soon to $Action 30

but still not work

And the Infos i get after compiling are this

>"C:\Programme\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\aut2exe\aut2exe.exe" /in "C:\myscript.au3"

Packed 1 file.

And when i use Recource Hacker there are still something compressed ?

P.S. i decompressed with upx the file manualy,and then i started the exe but no sound and in the recource now i can´t find any wav file there.

You are missing SciTE4AutoIt3, it brings multiple tools giving bucket-loads of improvements of the AutoIt experience, for example the AutoIt3Wrapper that you are trying to use here even though you don't have it... Which is weird.

The Resources UDF page you linked to even mentions SciTE4AutoIt3 multiple times, can't see how you missed that

I thought i have the SciTE4AutoIt3 already, thx man now it does work

P.S. What is the different between ...

_ResourcePlaySound("mysoundfile_1", $SND_ASYNC) <-- with it or without this ?

As far as I know ASYNC mode will start playing sound and goes directly to another AU3 command

while SYNC (default) mode waits until sound finishes.

Thanks for this! There was a missing #include that's necessary to make this run, I've included it in the quoted code.
