Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. What is "that"?

Well for one you could try what I suggested doing. See my first reply in case you've forgotten.

What does that do? Or how would I do what you're suggesting. I really don't know C#, my friend.

Specifiying a fully qualified filespec guarantees that your code will attempt to operate on a file that exists.

Edit the code and recompile and re-run your program.

I'm sorry that I'm pushing my help and all, but what would I do in the catch part, to find out? I added the code, except for that.

I tried it without code in catch, and it doesn't stop the program and give me an error, but I don't hear sound.

I got the error code from "ex". 2147287038

That's probably because you're "eating" the exception (i.e. catching it but not doing anything about the fact that an exception was thrown).

The simplest thing to do would be to display a message box if an exception is thrown, eg:
try {
wave = new DirectSound.SecondaryBuffer("C:\\laser1.wav", sound);
}
catch (SoundException ex) {
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message);
}
Also make sure the file C:\\laser1.wav exists.

Ok, so now that we have that done, how could we get the sound to play? I tried severl wave files I see listed in my files, and nothing works. I just want some sounds!

Was an exception thrown? If so, what's its message?

The error is:
"error in the application - (that big number from a post or 2 ago, Unknown)
string filename, bufferdescription, Device parent

Sorry, I have no idea what that means. The DirectSound tutorials at this site may help you get on your way. See this[^] section.

Okay; I've gotten the Error t oshow and things. What now? And I really am sorry if I'm pushy.

Hard to say without knowing what the error message is. I'm not psychic.

You might want to read this[^] article.

May I ask why? Also, did you mean the note or a chord. If so, which one? (I'm a fan of the Em, Am, B7 sequence).

Okay, now I've gone and checked out that article AND a few more, yet, I get the same error? Is it the wrong version od DirectSound, stupid mistakes, mistyping the filepath? I'm getting fed up.

It's plain that we don't know why it's not working. The number you're getting back is a HRESULT, you could google it and see if you find any info. VC6 came with a tool where you could enter the number and get more meaningful info, but that rarely worked, and I doubt you have it. Did you try a different file, such as an mp3 ?
Also, if directsound is part of directshow, it's not in the DirectX sdk, it's in the platform SDK.
