At first, I want to say that I had read all topics related to my problem here, on stackoverflow (and of course googled), but those research provided no solution to my problem.
I'm writing app for Windows Phone and I need to play two sounds simultaneously, but this code doesn't work, because there is slight, but noticeable dealy between two sounds, and there must be NO perceptible delay in my project.
Stream s1 = TitleContainer.OpenStream("C.wav");
Stream s2 = TitleContainer.OpenStream("C1.wav");
SoundEffectInstance sci = sc.CreateInstance();
SoundEffectInstance sci1 = sc1.CreateInstance();
sci.Play();
sci1.Play();
I also tried to perform a simple mix of two wav files, but it doesn't work for a reason that I don't know. (ArgumentException - Ensure that the specified stream contains valid PCM mono or stereo wave data. - is thrown, when calling SoundEffect.FromStream(WAVEFile.Mix(s1, s2));
public static Stream Mix(Stream in1,Stream in2)
{
BinaryWriter bw;
bw = new BinaryWriter(new MemoryStream());
byte[] header = new byte[44];
in1.Read(header, 0, 44);
bw.Write(header);
in2.Seek(44, SeekOrigin.Begin);
BinaryReader r1 = new BinaryReader(in1);
BinaryReader r2 = new BinaryReader(in2);
while (in1.Position != in1.Length)
{
bw.Write((short)(r1.ReadInt16() + r2.ReadInt16()));
}
r1.Dispose();
r2.Dispose();
bw.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return bw.BaseStream;
}
Stream s1 = TitleContainer.OpenStream("C.wav");
Stream s2 = TitleContainer.OpenStream("C1.wav");
s3 = SoundEffect.FromStream(WAVEFile.Mix(s1, s2));
So, does anyone know how to play two sounds at the time?
So your first solution SHOULD work. I have another solution that is very similar with a twist that I KNOW works.
static Stream stream1 = TitleContainer.OpenStream("soundeffect.wav");
static SoundEffect sfx = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream1);
static SoundEffectInstance soundEffect = sfx.CreateInstance();
public void playSound(){
FrameworkDispatcher.Update();
soundEffect.Play();
}
The reason your second solution didnt work is because there are very specific file formats that the windows phone can play.

You can see the above solution working here

Edit#2
In response to the comment below that this code doesn't work I have also posted a working, published app on my blog that implements this very code. It's called Xylophone, it's free and you can download the code here at the bottom of the page.

Hi this is my current code which is extremely inefficient as it has to save an audio stream to a file to play it. I would like to pass the audio stream directly to my laptop's speaker using the NAudio library. I still have not managed to find a solution. It will be of great help, thanks.
i'm not familiar with naudio but as far as i can see from their git hub repo, the constructor for WaveFileReader also accepts a stream instead of a filename ...
simply try writing everything you have to a memory stream instead of a file... don't forget to reposition the memory stream before you read it ('seek' to offset 0)
I am using System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer to convert text to speech. And due to Microsoft's anemic documentation (see my link, there's no remarks or code examples) I'm having trouble making heads or tails of the difference between two methods:
SetOutputToAudioStream and SetOutputToWaveStream.
Here's what I have deduced:
SetOutputToAudioStream takes a stream and a SpeechAudioFormatInfo instance that defines the format of the wave file (samples per second, bits per second, audio channels, etc.) and writes the text to the stream.
SetOutputToWaveStream takes just a stream and writes a 16 bit, mono, 22kHz, PCM wave file to the stream. There is no way to pass in SpeechAudioFormatInfo.
My problem is SetOutputToAudioStream doesn't write a valid wave file to the stream. For example I get a InvalidOperationException ("The wave header is corrupt") when passing the stream to System.Media.SoundPlayer. If I write the stream to disk and attempt to play it with WMP I get a "Windows Media Player cannot play the file..." error but the stream written by SetOutputToWaveStream plays properly in both. My theory is that SetOutputToAudioStream is not writing a (valid) header.
Strangely the naming conventions for the SetOutputTo*Blah* is inconsistent. SetOutputToWaveFile takes a SpeechAudioFormatInfo while SetOutputToWaveStream does not.
I need to be able to write a 8kHz, 16-bit, mono wave file to a stream, something that neither SetOutputToAudioStream or SetOutputToWaveStream allow me to do. Does anybody have insight into SpeechSynthesizer and these two methods?
For reference, here's some code:
Stream ret = new MemoryStream();
using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer())
{
synth.SelectVoice(voiceName);
synth.SetOutputToWaveStream(ret);
//synth.SetOutputToAudioStream(ret, new SpeechAudioFormatInfo(8000, AudioBitsPerSample.Sixteen, AudioChannel.Mono));
synth.Speak(textToSpeak);
}
Solution:
Many thanks to #Hans Passant, here is the gist of what I'm using now:
Stream ret = new MemoryStream();
using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer())
{
var mi = synth.GetType().GetMethod("SetOutputStream", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
var fmt = new SpeechAudioFormatInfo(8000, AudioBitsPerSample.Sixteen, AudioChannel.Mono);
mi.Invoke(synth, new object[] { ret, fmt, true, true });
synth.SelectVoice(voiceName);
synth.Speak(textToSpeak);
}
return ret;
For my rough testing it works great, though using reflection is a bit icky it's better than writing the file to disk and opening a stream.
Your code snippet is borked, you're using synth after it is disposed. But that's not the real problem I'm sure. SetOutputToAudioStream produces the raw PCM audio, the 'numbers'. Without a container file format (headers) like what's used in a .wav file. Yes, that cannot be played back with a regular media program.
The missing overload for SetOutputToWaveStream that takes a SpeechAudioFormatInfo is strange. It really does look like an oversight to me, even though that's extremely rare in the .NET framework. There's no compelling reason why it shouldn't work, the underlying SAPI interface does support it. It can be hacked around with reflection to call the private SetOutputStream method. This worked fine when I tested it but I can't vouch for it:
using System.Reflection;
...
using (Stream ret = new MemoryStream())
using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer()) {
var mi = synth.GetType().GetMethod("SetOutputStream", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
var fmt = new SpeechAudioFormatInfo(8000, AudioBitsPerSample.Eight, AudioChannel.Mono);
mi.Invoke(synth, new object[] { ret, fmt, true, true });
synth.Speak("Greetings from stack overflow");
// Testing code:
using (var fs = new FileStream(#"c:\temp\test.wav", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) {
ret.Position = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
for (;;) {
int len = ret.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (len == 0) break;
fs.Write(buffer, 0, len);
}
}
}
If you're uncomfortable with the hack then using Path.GetTempFileName() to temporarily stream it to a file will certainly work.
Im trying to Make a radio Like Auto Dj to Play List Of Mp3 Files in series Like What Happen In Radio.
I tried a lot of work around but finally i thought of sending mp3 files to shoutcast server and play the output of that server my problem is i don't how to do that
i have tried bass.radio to use bass.net and that's my code
private int _recHandle;
private BroadCast _broadCast;
EncoderLAME l;
IStreamingServer server = null;
// Init Bass
Bass.BASS_Init(-1, 44100, BASSInit.BASS_DEVICE_DEFAULT,IntPtr.Zero);
// create the stream
int _stream = Bass.BASS_StreamCreateFile("1.mp3", 0, 0,
BASSFlag.BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT | BASSFlag.BASS_STREAM_PRESCAN);
l= new EncoderLAME(_stream);
l.InputFile = null; //STDIN
l.OutputFile = null;
l.Start(null, IntPtr.Zero, false);
// decode the stream (if not using a decoding channel, simply call "Bass.BASS_ChannelPlay" here)
byte[] encBuffer = new byte[65536]; // our dummy encoder buffer
while (Bass.BASS_ChannelIsActive(_stream) == BASSActive.BASS_ACTIVE_PLAYING)
{
// getting sample data will automatically feed the encoder
int len = Bass.BASS_ChannelGetData(_stream, encBuffer, encBuffer.Length);
}
//l.Stop(); // finish
//Bass.BASS_StreamFree(_stream);
//Server
SHOUTcast shoutcast = new SHOUTcast(l);
shoutcast.ServerAddress = "50.22.219.37";
shoutcast.ServerPort = 12904;
shoutcast.Password = "01008209907";
shoutcast.PublicFlag = true;
shoutcast.Genre = "Hörspiel";
shoutcast.StationName = "Kravis Server";
shoutcast.Url = "";
shoutcast.Aim = "";
shoutcast.Icq = "";
shoutcast.Irc = "";
server = shoutcast;
server.SongTitle = "BASS.NET";
// disconnect, if connected
if (_broadCast != null && _broadCast.IsConnected)
{
_broadCast.Disconnect();
}
_broadCast = null;
GC.Collect();
_broadCast = new BroadCast(server);
_broadCast.Notification += OnBroadCast_Notification;
_broadCast.AutoReconnect = true;
_broadCast.ReconnectTimeout = 5;
_broadCast.AutoConnect();
but i don't get my File Streamed to streamed to the server even the _broadCast Is Connected.
so if any solution of code or any other thing i can do.
I haven't used BASS in many years, so I can't give you specific advice on the code you have there. But, I wanted to give you the gist of the process of what you need to do... it might help you get started.
As your file is in MP3, it is possible to send it directly to the server and hear it on the receiving end. However, there are a few problems with that. The first is rate control. If you simply transmit the file data, you'll send say 5 minutes of data in perhaps a 10 second time period. This will eventually cause failures as the clients aren't going to buffer much data, and they will disconnect. Another problem is that your MP3 files often have extra data in them in the form of ID3 tags. Some players will ignore this, others won't. Finally, some of your files might be in different sample rates than others, so even if you rate limit your sending, the players will break when they hit a file in a different sample rate.
What needs to happen is the generation of a fresh stream. The pipeline looks something like this:
[Source File] -> [Codec] -> [Raw PCM Audio] -> [Codec] -> [MP3 Stream] -> [SHOUTcast Server] -> [Clients]
Additionally, that raw PCM audio step needs to run in at a realtime rate. While your computer can definitely decode and encode faster than realtime, it needs to be ran at realtime so that the players can listen in realtime.
Yo guys, its me again with my noob questions. so this time I've used cscore to record windows sounds then send the recorded bytes to another pc by sockets and let them play there.
I just could not figure out how to play the gotten bytes under DataAvailable callback...
I've tried to write the bytes gotten to a file and play that file that worked but sound is not playing correctly like there's some unexpected sounds being heard with it too.
so here's my code:
WasapiCapture capture = new WasapiLoopbackCapture();
capture.Initialize();
capture.DataAvailable += (s, e) =>
{
WaveWriter w = new WaveWriter("file.mp3", capture.WaveFormat);
w.Write(e.Data, e.Offset, e.ByteCount);
w.Dispose();
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes("file.mp3"));
SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(stream);
player.Play();
stream.Dispose();
};
capture.Start();
any help would be highly appreciated ;-;.
if you wanna hear how sound comes out by that way I would record you the result.
NOTE: if I just record sounds to a file and open later it just works perfectly but if I write and play instantly it unexpected sounds being heard.....
Use the SoundInSource as an adapater.
var capture = new WasapiCapture(...)
capture.Initialize(); //initialize always first!!!!
var soundInSource = new SoundInSource(capture)
{ FillWithZeros = true }; //set FillWithZeros to true, to prevent WasapiOut from stopping for the case WasapiCapture does not serve any data
var soundOut = new WasapiOut();
soundOut.Initialize(soundInSource);
soundOut.Play();
public void AudioConvert()
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream(InputFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
NAudio.Wave.WaveFormat format = new NAudio.Wave.WaveFormat();
NAudio.Wave.WaveStream rawStream = new RawSourceWaveStream(fs, format);
NAudio.Wave.WaveStream wsDATA = WaveFormatConversionStream.CreatePcmStream(rawStream);
WaveStream wsstream = wst.CanConvertPcmToMp3(2, 44100);
.....
}
// Here is the class
public class WaveFormatConversionStreamTests
{
public WaveStream CanConvertPcmToMp3(int channels,int sampleRate)
{
WaveStream ws = CanCreateConversionStream(
new WaveFormat(sampleRate, 16, channels),
new Mp3WaveFormat(sampleRate, channels, 0, 128000/8));
return ws;
}
}
Here, i am trying to convert any audio format to mp3 but my code is throwing exception like "ACMNotPossible" at ConvertPCMToMp3 function call. I am using NAudio 1.6 version dll. Right now i am working on windows 7. Please tell me where i went wrong in this code.
WaveFormatConversionStream is a wrapper around the Windows ACM APIs, so you can only use it to make MP3s if you have an ACM MP3 encoder installed. Windows does not ship with one of these. The easiest way to make MP3s is simply to use LAME.exe. I explain how to do this in C# in this article.
Also, if you are using the alpha of NAudio 1.7 and are on Windows 8 then you might be able to use the MP3 encoder which seems to come with Windows 8 as a Media Foundation Transform. Use the MediaFoundationEncoder (the NAudio WPF demo shows how to do this).
