svennie 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Some computers will stop the executing of a DLL function when the program itself is closed, you must keep it open. An example is by adding While 1 and WEnd mciSendString("play C:\The_Beatles-Abbey_Road-17-Her_Majesty.Mp3") Sleep(100) mciSendString("play " & FileGetShortName(@WindowsDir & "\Media\ringin.wav")) Sleep(1500) Func mciSendString($str) $ret = DLLCall("winmm.dll","int","mciSendString","str",$str, "str", "" ,"int", 65534,"hwnd",0) If NOT @ERROR Then Return $ret[2] Else SetError(1) Return "" EndIf EndFunc While 1 ;just keep executing WEnd Sorry for my English, I'm Dutch... =DMedia UDFINet Adv UDF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insolence 2 Posted August 28, 2005 I tried moving the MP3 into the same dir and I also tried running the infinite loop, nothing. Thanks guys, I wonder what else could be wrong?

MHz 73 Posted August 29, 2005 You have installed a third party MP3 codec? The MP3 codec installed would be non-compliant audio codec for windows specifications. Try to change the priorty of the Fraunhofer MP3 codec in Audio Codecs Properties to a higher level then the other MP3 codec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insolence 2 Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) Where are Audo Codec Properties? Also, that sounds like it may be the problem =\ EDIT: I set the priority to 1 and it still doesn't work... ugh Edited August 29, 2005 by Insolence "I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

MHz 73 Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) You could try to unregister then register the mp3 files. The filenames for mp3 are: L3codecx.ax L3codeca.acm or L3codecp.acm Use "regsvr32 /u filename" to unregister, then "regsvr32 filename" to register. This may fix the issue, with any luck.
