how can I put two sound files (in 2 cases) in the VI

[Tuong]

I would like to ask how can I put the sound in the VI. Please, see the attached file, it only can run with 1 sound file. If I want to run 2 sound files in 2 cases, it has an error. Please help me!

Thank in advance! See you reply soon.

Best regards,

Try setting wait until finished = True in both cases.

It works for me under Windows XP after I made one change. The way you built the VI, in the default FALSE case you neglected to set the "wait for completion" boolean to TRUE and that will cause the loop to continually make requests to the operating system to play the same file over and over and over without ever giving it time to start playing it in the first place. You should also consider wiring the error output of the "play" vi to an indicator so that you can see if any errors are being generated.

Hi!

Thank for your help!

I try to fix as you told, but it just reconizes the sound file 1, when I set the main Boolean condition is TRUE, and if main condition is False, it can not play the 2nd files.

It informs an error in False case: code 6, source: Snd Play Wave File.vi in sent sound.vi

I don't know this error, so please to help, I need it in this night. Thanks a lot. If you can play, please attach the corrected file for me. Thank again.

Your original vi works fine for me when I:
a) set wait to complete = T for both cases
b) change the file paths to a sound file present on my computer

Error 6 is a generic file I/O error (we all would get it running your vi w/ default conditions, since we don't have the file called:
C:\Documents and Settings\HOA CO MAY\Desktop\Doan so 1 chinh.wav
)

double check your path names &/or try it w/ a standard file, such as:
C:\WINDOWS\Media\CHIMES.WAV

When you have a front-panel error displayed you can right-click on the error cluster indicator and on the menu that pops up select "Explain this error" to get mor information on the error.

In this case, error 6 is "LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error."

I suspect that one of your two sound files is bad. Try a different sound file.

(And my VI is not any different than yours other than changing the state of that one boolean from false to true.)

Or try DIFFERENT sound files for the 2 cases to notice the change

Thanks all of you for your help. It can play well. One of sound files is bad file. Thanks!!!!!

Hi! It can play well with the file I sent after adjusting. But, if I set TRUE for both of cases for "Wait until to finish" and put it in my program, it can not run my main program until the sound is off. If set FALSE, the problem likes this will occur. So, have any suggestions for this case. I want to run my program as long with the sound. Thanks a lot.
