This one is very easy. I'm trying to play .wma, .mp3 and some *.wav files from one computer in two rooms in my house. I want to be able to play different files at the same time. I have already written the program to play them, but am a little scared of the DirectX code. I have two choices: 1) Separate sound cards, lots of APIS, and use Windows 2000. 2) Use a sound card with front and back stereo and set the audiopaths on the different wav files so that they are only played on the front or back. I've decided to go with the second option. This is a "gimme" project where all you have to do is copy a few files from the tutorial, add a few tweaks, so that it's compatible with my database / file management program and send it in. Addenda: 1) Several coders have told me that using two sound cards is much easier. I am open to this approach. ## Deliverables Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. Complete copyrights to all work purchased. VB Code to play different files using directx8 with audiopaths such that they either play only in the front or only in the rear. Files must be able to be played simultaneously, that is if a file is playing up front, it, or another one, should also be able to be played in the rear. Code should have some ' remarks. 1)Here's the code I have that you need: Public Sub Playinlivingroom(ByVal strfileaddress1 As String, strfiletype as string, lngvolumeliving As Long) End Sub Public Sub playindiningroom(ByVal strfileaddress2 As String, strfiletype as string, lngvolumedine As Long) End Sub 2) I need a program that -lets me choose files to play via the common file dialog. -uses 2 command buttons to call the various subs listed above, which you are to add to such that files can be played simulataneously on two different speakers sets, that are either attached to different sound cards, or front and back on a sound card such as the soundblaster live,the later approach to use directx. Here's a helpful file. [login to view URL] - have sliders to separately configure the volume on both outputs. I was getting too many questions about the project, so I elected to reopen it in order to clarify what may not have been clear. Thanks ## Platform This should run on a Windows 98 box with Directx. ## Deadline information Code to be in VB6. More similar jobs may follow.
