hello friend, I think I figured it out tonight. What I found is this: 1. The standard audio alerts are in C:\SierraChart2268\AlertSounds 2. I had created a subdirectory called MySounds under the AlertSounds directory for my custom wavs 3. Using the testing tool, I had trouble playing sounds housed in the AlertSounds\MySounds directory 3.a. The testing tool allows one to browse to a file on disk to play it, but, they would not play for some reason when housed in the MySounds subdirectory. dunno why. 4. When I moved my wav files out of the subdirectory to the AlertSounds directory (where airplane and applause all work), the testing tool worked on my wavs and using sc.PlaySound in my advanced custom study worked as expected. So, there was something about housing my wav files in a subdirectory under AlertSounds that seemed to be causing the strange issues. Thanks for bearing with me, and hope this helps someone else one day. |
