I am creating a WP7 application that requires various sound effects to be played (on button press) over looped background music. The background music is initiated by pressing Button 1 and loops fine. When I press button3 (triggers a sound effect), the sound effect overlays on the background music fine on first press. However, when I press button3 again, the background music stops. I cannot figure out why this might be happening!? I have pasted the relevant portions of code below. Would appreciate any help.
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
SoundEffect soundEffect;
Stream soundfile;
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
static protected void LoopClip(SoundEffect soundEffect)
{
{
SoundEffectInstance instance = soundEffect.CreateInstance();
instance.IsLooped = true;
FrameworkDispatcher.Update();
instance.Play();
}
}
public void PlaySound(string soundFile)
{
using (var stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream(soundFile))
{
var effect = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream);
effect.Play();
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
soundfile = TitleContainer.OpenStream("BackgroundMusic.wav");
soundEffect = SoundEffect.FromStream(soundfile);
LoopClip(soundEffect);
}
private void button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
PlaySound("sound3.wav");
}
}
}
