Store Audio In Memmory

Im wondering if it is possible to store an audio *.wav file in memmory so everytime I play it it doesn't have to be loaded?

Is this possible?

how do u want to play it? - if you are using direct show / mci / or media player just don't close the file

At the moment i'm just using:

Code:

---

My.Computer.Audio.Play("../../Resources/Test.wav")

---

well prob not then - i mean audio.play does support a stream - so loading the file into one may be quicker

Code would be:

vb Code:

Dim s As New System.IO.FileStream("c:\alert.wav", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read)
        My.Computer.Audio.Play(s, AudioPlayMode.Background)

So make s global / form level variable (etc) and run the play line when u need it

Ok thanks this works when I play the sound once but when I play it a second time I get a System.InvalidOperationException?

I believe you'd need to reset the position in the stream to 0, before attempting to play it again.

Ok problem solved it's now working fine thanks
