Playing WAV files

[Dirk Stichling]

Hi.

I managed to compile and run an application that plays a sound:

this.speaker = new Speaker (50);
string soundFileName = “/home/root/apps/R2D2.wav”;
this.speaker.PlaySoundFile (soundFileName);

However, when I run the application I only hear a very short crazy sound but not really my WAV file.

Do I need to convert it to a special format?

Hi.

I also tried to execute speaker.Beep and that doesn’t work either.

BTW: I am using the firmware version that is currently available in the GIT repository.

Hi

When you are using the “master” branch of the GIT repository you are using the “latest and greatest”. The master branch is used for development and some upcoming features are working and some are not. If you want to use the brach that was used for the latest release then switch to the release branch – this should be stable but will be missing some features.

However I have tested that beep and tones should work while wav playback does not. Are you trying to play more that one tone at a time?

Hi.

I am mainly interested in playing WAV files. But I understand that it is not yet implemented. I also tried to just call speaker.Beep or speaker.Buzz but that didn’t work either.

Hi

You could try and fix the problem and then make a pull request 🙂
