Simplest way to play a sound

Unfortunately, there is no "simple" way of doing this, as far as I know. You need to use the Media Server to play the file. Check out the documentation for CMdaAudioPlayerUtility.

There is also a User::Beep() function, but this doesn't seem to work on my 7650, as I recall.

Can I find an example of this somewhere. I hate that documentation as there arent any examples 😞

Try looking on Forum Nokia (www.forum.nokia.com). But a basic example (warning: untested!) would be...

[code:1]
class CMyClass : public CBase, public MMdaAudioPlayerCallback
{
public:
void PlaySoundL();
virtual void MapcInitComplete(TInt aError, const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds& aDuration);
virtual void MapcPlayComplete(TInt aError);

// ...other variables...

private:
CMdaAudioPlayerUtility* iAudioPlayer;
};

void CMyClass::PlaySoundL()
{
iAudioPlayer = CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::NewFilePlayerL(_L("c:\\system\\data\\test.wav"), *this);
}

void CMyClass::MapcInitComplete(TInt aError, const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds& aDuration)
{
iAudioPlayer->SetVolume(iAudioPlayer->MaxVolume());
iAudioPlayer->Play(); // action!
}

void CMyClass::MapcPlayComplete(TInt aError)
{
// ... do something ...
}
[/code:1]

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot even if it is untested I will test it and well see if I can get a working example 😃

This was a good start for today !!
