Hello


My problem is if I want to create 3 buttons and I have 3 sound cards and each button is related to a sound card (for example button1 is related to sound card1 ...)and when I click on button1 I want to hear sound from the speaker wich is related to sound card1 (the same for button2 and button3.

My freinds gave me two codes: the first use Naudio it works but worked for I still can't play sound in the three sound cards,I mean only one sound card work when I install the three sound cards,It's like the programm is allways choosing a default audio card from the three external sound cards.

The second use DirectX and it works for me but I didn't understand how he call the device number,I mean in the code which use NAudio there is "devicenumber= 1 for example",I need to know how because i'll spicifie a device for each button (for example when I click on button1 the sound will be played in sound card1)?

I want to know how we can correct one of the two codes and how can I specifie a "Device " in the second code,can you help me please??

This is the Code of Form2 (from the project which use NAudio) you can notices how it specifie a device for each button but unfortunately it cause the problem mentioned:

                    bttnAudioDevice3.Visible = true;

                    bttnAudioDevice5.Visible = true;
                    break;
            }
        }
        private void bttnAudioDevice1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            wave = new WaveOut();

        {

            playSound();
        }
        private void bttnAudioDevice4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

            waveReader = new NAudio.Wave.WaveFileReader(fileName);
            output = new NAudio.Wave.DirectSoundOut();
           
            output.Init(new NAudio.Wave.WaveChannel32(waveReader));
            output.Play();
        }

                {
                    output.Stop();
                    output.Dispose();
                    output = null;
                }
            }
            if (wave != null)
            {
                wave.Dispose();
                wave = null;
            }
        }
        private void Form2_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
        {
            disposeWave();
        }
        private void bttnStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (output != null)
            {
                if (output.PlaybackState == NAudio.Wave.PlaybackState.Playing)
                {
                    output.Stop();
                 
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

And this is the code of Form1 (from the project using DirectX):

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound;
using DirectSound = Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound;
namespace DirectSoundPlay
{
	public partial class Form1 : Form
	{
		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			ReSizeControls();
		}
		private void playToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (listBox2.SelectedItems.Count == 0)
				return;
			if (listBox2.SelectedItems.Count > 1)
			{
				MessageBox.Show("Too many SelectedItems");
				return;
			}
			ClassAudioDevice ad = listBox2.SelectedItem as ClassAudioDevice;
			if (ad == null)
			{
				MessageBox.Show("SelectedItem is not a ClassAudioDevice");
				return;
			}
			DirectSound.Device Device = new DirectSound.Device(ad.DriverGuid);
			Device.SetCooperativeLevel(this.Handle, DirectSound.CooperativeLevel.Priority);
			DirectSound.Buffer AudioBuffer = new DirectSound.Buffer("C:\\Windows\\Media\\notify.wav", Device);
			AudioBuffer.Play(0, BufferPlayFlags.Default);
		}
		private void exitToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			Close();
		}
		private void Form1_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			ReSizeControls();
		}
		private void ReSizeControls()
		{
			int w = ClientSize.Width >> 1;
			listBox1.Width = w - 1;
			listBox2.Width = w - 1;
			listBox1.Height = ClientSize.Height;
			listBox2.Height = ClientSize.Height;
		}
		private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			DirectSound.DevicesCollection DevicesList = new DirectSound.DevicesCollection();
			DirectSound.CaptureDevicesCollection CaptureDevicesList = new DirectSound.CaptureDevicesCollection();
			ClassAudioDevice ad;
			//
			foreach (DirectSound.DeviceInformation di in CaptureDevicesList)
			{
				ad = new ClassAudioDevice();
				ad.Description = di.Description;
				ad.DriverGuid = di.DriverGuid;
				listBox1.Items.Add(ad);
			}
			foreach (DirectSound.DeviceInformation di in DevicesList)
			{
				ad = new ClassAudioDevice();
				ad.Description = di.Description;
				ad.DriverGuid = di.DriverGuid;
				listBox2.Items.Add(ad);
			}
		}
	}
}

And this is the code of ClassAudioDevice (from the same project):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace DirectSoundPlay
{
    class ClassAudioDevice
    {
        public string Description = "";

        public Guid DriverGuid = new Guid();

        public override string ToString()
        {
            return Description;
        }
    }
}

Thanks in advance.Good day.
