System.InvalidOperationException: "Sound API only supports playing PCM wave files."-CodePudding

SoundPlayer simpleSound = new SoundPlayer("C:/Users/heerm/Downloads/mixkit-positive-interface-beep-221.wav");
simpleSound.Play();

This code occures the in the title named error massage and I don´t know how to convert a wav-file into pcm wave files or how to play different fileformats with winforms. Can anyone help me?

CodePudding user response：

If we want to play wav files in winform, we can use the following code:

using System.Media;
private void Play_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SoundPlayer soundPlayer = new SoundPlayer(@"Sound Path");
        soundPlayer.Play();
    }

This method can play wav files normally. If you still get the error “ Sound API only supports playing PCM wave files”, there are some problem with your sound file format like this: Sound API only supports playing PCM wave files

And this page can give you some suggestions on converting to pcm wave files. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d30a3002-a553-4bb2-b8da-058255395a5e/the-error-occured-when-i-tried-to-play-wav-file-winforms?forum=netfxbcl
