How to play a sound in NETCore?
As a workaround until .NET Core has audio support, you could try something like this:
public static void PlaySound(string file)
{
Process.Start(@"powershell", $@"-c (New-Object Media.SoundPlayer '{file}').PlaySync();");
}
Of course this would only work on Windows with PowerShell installed, but you could detect which OS you are on and act accordingly.
There is now a way to do it with NAudio library (since 1.9.0-preview1) but it will only works on Windows.
So using NAudio, here the code to play a sound in .NET Core assuming you are doing it from a Windows environment.
using (var waveOut = new WaveOutEvent())
using (var wavReader = new WaveFileReader(@"c:\mywavfile.wav"))
{
waveOut.Init(wavReader);
waveOut.Play();
}
For a more global solution, you should go for @Fiodar's one taking advantage of Node.js.
Add package System.Windows.Extensions to your project.
