Run Program Module Does Not Play My Wave File

[Guest Femi Ogundimu]

Hi,

 

I am running a trial version of VoiceGuide for TAPI on windows 2000 using a modem. I'd like to send out an alert by playing a wave file at a stage in the script for external attention.

 

I have tried using the Run Program module but it does never plays my wave file. I tried the same module to write variables to an output file and it worked perfectly.

 

Pls let me know the correct command format for using the Run Program module to play wave files.

 

Thanx

femi

Have you tried using the example in the Help file:

 

mplayer /play /close c:\test.wav

 

If you are finding that the program does not run as VoiceGuide cannot find it then try specifying the full path to where your Media Player program is on your system..

 

On some Win2000 system the Media Player is actually in:

 

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe

 

which would make the actual command line prompt in the Run Module:

 

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe /play /close c:\test.wav

 

 

If you have no luck with Media Player then you should be able to find many other tools out there which allow you to play the wave file specified on the command line and then close afterwards...

a better approach is to use:

 

sndrec32 /play /close c:\test.wav

 

The above command line will use the Sound Recorder application - which can always be found, so there is no need to specify the full path to it
