Play sound file on windows mobile device (.wav specifically)

Question

I want to play a .wav file on a mobile device. I guess my trouble lies in actually accessing the file correctly. The following is the code I currently have:

string path = "\\Windows\\badRead.wav";
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(path);
player.PlaySync();
player.PlaySync();

What am I missing? The error I'm receiving is "Please be sure a sound file exists at the specified location. IS it that it's searching for the wav file on the server? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I used javascript instead of trying to play the sound server side.

Have you read this: http://peterfoot.net/SystemMediaSoundPlayerVersusThePlaySoundAPI.aspx

Possibly you have to issue a player.Load() first before using player.PlaySync:

    private SoundPlayer Player = new SoundPlayer();
    private void loadSoundAsync()
    {
        // Note: You may need to change the location specified based on
        // the location of the sound to be played.
        this.Player.SoundLocation = "http://www.tailspintoys.com/sounds/stop.wav";
        this.Player.LoadAsync();
    }

    private void Player_LoadCompleted (
        object sender, 
        System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.Player.IsLoadCompleted)
        {
            this.Player.PlaySync();
        }
    }

Another approach would be to use the Play>Sound API natively:
