Is it possible to have a background music and to be able hear a second sound without stopping the background music?

I use, the command

Code: Select all

 SoundPlay, backgroundMusic.mp3

but I put

Code: Select all

 SoundPlay, soundOption.wav

I can hear this second sound but then the backgroundMusic has stopped.

Any idea, please?

Take a look at this topic Play two sound at once.

Thanks.

Now, using this function

Code: Select all

playAudio(aF){
   global
   fNm++
   fLoc := a_temp, cPF := fLoc "\pF_" fNm ".ahk"
      sbCmd =
      (
         #NoTrayIcon
         cSnd := "%aF%"
         soundPlay, `% cSnd, 1
      )
   fileAppend, % sbCmd, % cPF
   if fileExist(cPF)
      run % cPF
   sleep, 500 ; <- script hangs on exit if theres no delay.
      fileDelete, % a_temp "\pF_*.ahk"
   return
}

I can use a background music but now I have the problem It's impossible to me to stop the background music when I close the script.

How can I stop the music?

Thanks in advance.

Add a hotkey to exitapp at the bottom of sbCmd or remove the notrayicon and right click the tray icon, then click exit.

Are you testing that function?

I close my script and the music keeps playing even close it.

Did you test?

Code: Select all

  sbCmd =
      (
         #NoTrayIcon
         cSnd := "%aF%"
         soundPlay, `% cSnd, 1
         exitapp
         esc::exitapp
      )

Start the sound, press ESC

tra

Sorry, I had not read the remove the notraicon....

Now, my problem It's that in the PC where I'm going to run the exe from my autohotkeys script is not installed autohotkey.... Then the function is not useful for me!

Another idea, please?

Untested:
PlaySound and DllCall.

Good Luck!

I thought I had fixed my problem using this:

Code: Select all

FileRead, Sound1, *c %rbackgroundSound%
   PlaySound( Sound1 )

PlaySound( ByRef Sound ) {
 Return DllCall( "winmm.dll\PlaySound" ( A_IsUnicode ? "W" : "A" ), UInt,&Sound, UInt,0, UInt, ((SND_MEMORY:=0x4)|(SND_ASYNC := 0x1)) )
}

but now I have other problem... That function is only for wav files and I need/want use mp3 files...

Thanks

For mp3 you might use bass.dll.

Toralf once released a wrapper for bass.dll: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/5125 ... sdll-2450/

If you're interested I could pm you Toralfs wrapper from my archive ... I simply tested your needs by starting two separate scripts using the wrapper library - and both sounds could be heard - I don't know whether it can be used to play multiple sounds from a single script
