How can i play a wav file in Visual Basic ?

Please help me...

Include the following lines in the declarations of your module:

Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1        
Public Const SND_SYNC = &H0        
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA"
(ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

Then, simply call the function:

lRes = sndPlaySound( "c:\Media\SomeWave.Wav",SND_ASYNC)

That's all there is to it.
Use SND_ASYNC as the second parameter if you want the function to return
control as soon as it starts playing the WAV file; or SND_SYNC if you only
want control back once the WAV file has been played completely.

Hope this helps,

Note that if you want to play wave files from resources, you should do :

Public Const SND_MEMORY = &H4
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA"
(lpszSoundName as Any, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

then... (to play resource ID 2000)
    Dim data() as Byte

    data = LoadResData( "2000", "WAVE")
    retval = sndPlaySound( Data(0), SND_MEMORY)

Using the SND_RESOURCE flag didn't seem to work in VB no matter which way i
declared the function...

PLAYWAV ("filename.wav")
