BobMandel Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 First, I just love AutoIt!!!!!!! I don't know what I would do without it, or how I existed so long without using it. I have been creating tons of successful scripts for a variety of purposes. But I have two quick questions about sound management: (1) Using SoundPlay, is there any way to specify the number of times to play a sound file? I know I could create a loop, but this is for background sound behind an application. (2) I understand that to stop playing sound one can use SoundPlay (""), and that works effectively on sound/music initiated by an earlier SoundPlay command. But how can you create a script that will stop sound/music not initiated through SoundPlay (though another program running)? Thanks a ton for you help!

Edano Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) 2.) as far as i know there is no way to stop music from another program than turning down the speakers. 1.) take a short look at this: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> maybe it helps you ? there is no param for the number of times to play the sound. but there are some advanced _Sound* functions in helpfile that could do what you want.

somdcomputerguy Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) There is a Winamp library - ?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>. I don't know if this would be helpful to you, but it's there if you need it..

Xandy Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Look into this function _SoundPlay($aSnd, $wait= 0). Here is how you would use it:- load a sound file to array$asound= _SoundOpen($filepath)-has _soundpause, resume, play, stop, seek, close functions -then play the sound _SoundPlay($asound) You can still control the volume with soundsetwavevolume($volume). Functional gui example, but you have to find the _soundopen( and change the filepath to the path of your sound file ) then it will loop $bgmusic sound, providing a gui with menubar option to set volume #include <GUIConstants.au3>;this defines $gui_event_close #include <Sound.au3> local $soundvolume= 100, $x= 0 local $hgui= guicreate("_SoundPlay Test", 320, 200);creates a gui dialog window local $menubarvolume= guictrlcreatemenu("Volume");menubar volume option local $menubarvolumesetvolume= guictrlcreatemenuitem("Volume "&$soundvolume, $menubarvolume);menu item in menubar option guisetstate();shows the gui dialog window local $bgmusic= _soundopen(@ScriptDir&"\DW_Menus.wav");load our music from file, your path will be differant to load mp3s, wav other sound formats _soundplay($bgmusic);Play the music loaded into $bgmusic do;main loop $msg= guigetmsg();returns messages from the gui if _soundpos($bgmusic)>= _soundlength($bgmusic) then _soundplay($bgmusic);repeat music if $msg= $menubarvolumesetvolume then;somebody fucking clicked setvolume menubar option item $x= inputbox("Sound Volume", "Current Sound Volume: "&$soundvolume&@CRLF&"Please enter new volume or ESCAPE", "", 0, default, default, default, default, 0, $hgui);I do the $hgui parameter thing so the the the inputbox popup window doesn't get layered behind the main gui dialog when the the main gui dialog is clicked, It means this dialog won't get lost behind parent window if $x<> "" then;grade the user's assignment if $x> 100 then $x= 100;I probably don't have to do this if $x< 0 then $x= 0;but it seemed like a good idea at the time $soundvolume= $x; : v) soundsetwavevolume($soundvolume);this works on mp3s and shit too, AutoIt for the win guictrlsetdata($menubarvolumesetvolume, "Volume "&$soundvolume);sets the menubar option item with label of current volume endif;changing sound volume endif;menubarvolume, setvolume until $msg= $gui_event_close;it's finally over (CRLF) I'd like to thank the Earth rq, then the entire AutoIt team and forum.
