How to play a wave file through the DAQ board?

Hi there,
we want to play a wave file that is saved on the harddrive via the DAQ board. Means we want to connect a amp to the analog output of the DAQ to amplify the sound and play it through a speaker.
We couldn't find any VI that does that. Can anybody tell us how to play a wave file, or perhaps even send us a VI that can do that?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Martin,
The only example that I could find on how to do this was using our
older Traditional DAQ drivers version 6.9.3. If you're using Traditional
DAQ drivers, the vi can be found here.
The example reads a 8-bit mono .wav file (an example .wav file is included in the .zip file) and writes it to the analog out of your DAQ card. I've updated the
example to work with our newer DAQmx drivers and attached it here.
I hope this helps,
Paul C.

How to play an audio file through a button?

I have a form in which I have a button (Command object). When the user clicks on this command button it is supposed to play a wav file. The wav is residing in my hard disk at "C:\tada.wav"
I have tried to include the following code in the commandAction() method, which technically is the right way of performing this operation:
But I get a warning when I compile saying that this operation should be performed in a seperate thread as opposed to commandAction().
if(c == cmdPlay)
try
String wav = "file:///c:/tada.wav";
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(wav);
p.start();
catch (IOException x)
x.printStackTrace();
} catch (MediaException x) {
x.printStackTrace();
Can anyone please tell me how to implement this solution properly or just suggest a new way of creating a "play" button in my form? Urgent HELP NEEDED PLEASE!
THANKS.

Hi Ibrahim,
Rob has pointed you to the Lingo for playing a sound. There is a behavior in the Library Palette that makes this very easy without needing to write a script yourself. In the Media > Sound category, there is a 'Play Sound' behavior. You can click and drag this behavior onto a sprite and then in the Parameters dialog, you can choose the sound to play, the channel in which it should play, the event to activate the sound, and if you want the sound to loop.

How to play a wav file to LINE_OUT with javax.sound.sampled

Hello all,
I need to play a wav file to LINE_OUT port, but not to the SPEAKER. I am trying to do this under window NT. For some reason I get false for isLineSupported(Port.Info.LINE_OUT). I am new to javax.sound so I might be doing something wrong. Here is the code that I am using to iterate through all availible mixers and check if LINE_OUT is supported by any of them:
Mixer.Info[] mixers = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
for(int i = 0; i < mixers.length; i++){
Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(mixers);
if (mixer.isLineSupported(Port.Info.LINE_OUT)) {
System.out.println("the port is supported");
try {
Port line = (Port) AudioSystem.getLine(
Port.Info.LINE_OUT);
catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
else{
System.out.println("the port is not supported");
Please help

How to transfer a binary file through the socket?

hi,
i have a problem when I want to transfer a binary file through the socket. On the server side we write a program with C. On the client side with use java. The socket worked fine when we transfer some asci files. But failed when transfer the binary file. How to solve the problem? Can someone give me some advice? Thanks a lot.
sincerely,
zheng chuanbo

i use streams to read the binary file. The problem is I don't know when the transfered stream finished. With text file I can recognize the end of the transfer by a special string, but how to deal with the end of a stream? should the server send an "EOF" or something else to the client to notify the end?

How to play an audio file from the begin.........

Hello to everybody,
I am working on a application that is supposed to manage audio file. At the moment I 'm using the SourceDataLine instead of the Clip. But I've got a problem. When the user pushes the Stop button I want that if he pushes Play again the track starts from the begin. I've used the drain() and flush() method but it doesn't work because the track resumes from the point when has been interrupted. Here part of the code:
@Override
public void run()
try
if(dataline!=null)
dataline.open(audio_format);
dataline.start();
int i=0;
while((i=audio_input_stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length))!=-1 && flag==false)
if(i>0)
dataline.write(buffer, 0, i);
dataline.drain();
dataline.stop();
dataline.flush();
dataline=null;
dataline.close();
And also I'd like to know how to navigate through the audio file by a slider or something like that, so how much time is passed.
Thank you in advance.

I've tried to use it but I found out that if I use quite large wav files an exception is thrown, Aha! I expected as much. That is why I developed BigClip.
..so I thought to change to SourceDataLine even if Clip has the right stuff to manage my audio files. So what do you suggest? Is there a way to avoid such problem? I mean, how can I be sure that I'm able to use every wav files? Not every WAV file can be opened using SourceDataLine, but if SDL can open it, so can BigClip.

How to copy a .bak-File through the Net with a Job?

Hi all,
I have create with
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO 'c:\Temp\test_control.bak';
my the binary copy of my controlfile.
But I don't understand:
In the database there are 3 control files: Control01.ctl,
Control02.ctl and Control03.ctl. After I implemented ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO 'C:\Temp\test_control.bak';, I have
only one copy. Is that the copy of all 3 controlfiles? Still another question:
How can I copy this file now with a job on another computer through the net?

How do you load wav files in the EXS24?

Hey all - I'm new w/the EXS24 and am trying to import wav files off a sampler CD I bought. I can't figure out an easy way to do it. When I imported some Akai CD's before, it was as simple as opening AKAI convert and inserting the CD. Now, when I go to the "load mult-sample" for these wav's - it wants me to do everything one at a time. Surely, there's got to be an easier way than loading hundreds of samples one at a time. Any suggestions from all you EXS24 pros out there?

If you can get to the instrument editor, drag and drop your regions or files onto the keyboard and answer the following questions. To preview it have an EXS24 loaded up with EXS Instrument #5678 (or whichever number it happens to be.

Hi,
You can't do that in a simple way. You need to have a port open in the firewall, and you need to have a server process on the remote machine.

Subsequent play of WAV files from HTTP

Hi,
I have to subsequently play many WAV files from HTTP in a nokia series 60 emulator.
Everything is ok for the first two files, but at the third I catch an exception:
"java.io.IOException: exceeded the configured maximum number of connections"
I tried two ways to load the files from HTTP:
Manager.CreatePlayer(InputStream...)
Manager.CreatePlayer("http:\\...")
Below there is the code of the two methods I use. Please note that I try in every way to close the connection before open a new one!!!
public void Method_1(String src, String type){
int iLen=0;
is = null;
httpCon = null;
byte[] bBuf;
try {
if (p != null) {
if (p.getState() == Player.STARTED) {
p.stop();
p.removePlayerListener(this);
p.deallocate();
p.close();
p=null;
if (is!=null){
is.close();
is=null;
if (httpCon!=null){
httpCon.close();
httpCon=null;
httpCon = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(src);
if (httpCon.getResponseCode() != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
System.out.println("Bad response code");
return;
System.out.println("Connection OK! (audio)");
iLen = (int) httpCon.getLength();
System.out.println("audio file length : " + iLen);
is = httpCon.openInputStream();
p = Manager.createPlayer(is, type);
p.addPlayerListener(this);
p.setLoopCount(1);
p.prefetch();
p.start();
vc = (VolumeControl)p.getControl("VolumeControl");
catch (MediaException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
public void Method_2(String src){
try {
if (p!=null){
if (p.getState() == Player.STARTED)
p.stop();
p.deallocate();
p.close();
p=null;
p = Manager.createPlayer(src);
p.addPlayerListener(this);
p.setLoopCount(1);
p.start();
vc = (VolumeControl)p.getControl("VolumeControl");
catch (java.io.IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
catch (MediaException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

My question is:
how can I load (from a HTTP server) and play more than two WAV files without crashing?
Do I have to close the connection in a better way in order to re-open it without problems (and more than two times)?
It is simply an emulator bug?
Thanks.

Play a wav file once

how do I play a wav file just once using the play sound
file.vi. i keep getting it to repeat over and over
thanks

First may I recommend some reading here. This is not meant to be cocky just to help you.
Getting Started with NI LabVIEW Student Training
LabVIEW101
Second I have included sort of template. Notice the wire that ends in the while loop. This will ensure that the wav is played before the loop starts.
Good luck with your Labview labwork
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Need Help playing a wav file on PDA

Does anyone have a SIMPLE example of playing a wav file on a PDA using LabView PDA. The only working example I can find from NI "Advance Sound Example for LabVIEW PDA for Pocket PC" is a jumbled of confusing functionality. I'm mainly looking for a simple "play" example, but a simple "record" example would be helpful also.
Thanks - Bruce

Hello,
Well, I looked through the example code I tried to break it down to the point where you could create a simple Play VI. Unfortunately, I don't have the PDA target, so I'm uncertain if the little example that I have attached will run or not. If not, I also took a screen shot so you can see what VIs I used. I'm pretty sure I only used VI's that I found on the example itself.
Good luck.
