Play a sound without stopping the script

Recommended Posts

I am thinking about the best way to realize this idea.

I have my .au3 script called SCRIPT1 with his continue loop.

Inside this loop I wait for a condition that happens.

I would like after the condition happens to play a sound with continuity.

In the same time I want that the main SCRIPT1 continue without waiting the stop of the sound.

Maybe the main SCRIPT1 can call another .au3 script like this one (script2.au3)?

script2.au3

While(1)

SoundPlay("C:\Windows\media\notify.wav",1)

sleep(1000)

Wend

Or maybe there is a best way?

Thanks for all suggestion :P

SoundPlay("C:\Windows\media\notify.wav")

8)

Thanks, now I read in the help for SoundPlay

SoundPlay ( "filename" [, wait] )

[optional] This flag determines if the script should wait for the sound to finish before continuing:

1 = wait until sound has finished

0 = continue script while sound is playing (default)

But I want to have a continuos sound like in the script

While(1)

SoundPlay("C:\Windows\media\notify.wav",1)

sleep(1000)

Wend

P.S. the duration of notify.wav is about 1 sec.

Thanks again

Write the sound play code to a temp au3 file and run it while your main sript does it's thing.

$File = FileOpen ("myTempFile.au3",2)

FileWriteline ($File, 'While(1)')
FileWriteline ($File, 'SoundPlay("C:\Windows\media\notify.wav",1)')
FileWriteline ($File, 'sleep(1000)')
FileWriteline ($File, 'Wend')

FileClose ($File)

$Process = Run (@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript myTempFile.au3')

;The rest of your script goes here and when your done you close the process of the temp file



ProcessClose($Process)
FileDelete("myTempFile.au3")

This is real interesting for me.

Thanks

Hi,

you can also Fileinstall the soundplaying exe. This way it will run also on pcs without having installed Autoit.

You don't need autoit installed for my method, because it uses the autoit exe which is compiled in your main script

I think @ScriptFullPath (other than @AutoIt.exe) works there too... If I'm not mistaken. Edited by SmOke_N

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
