Submitted by donbermoy on Sunday, March 9, 2014 - 13:14.

We always prompted to hear any computer sound when we got notifications, errors, or any information in our computer. In this article we will create this tutorial using vb.net! :) Now, let's start this tutorial! 1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application. 2. Next, add four Buttons named Button1 labeled as "Play Beep Sound", Button2 labeled as "Play Asterisk Sound", Button3 labeled as "Play Hand Sound", and Button4 labeled as "Play Exclamation Sound". You must design your layout like this: design

3. Now put this code for your code module. This will trigger to play computer system sound in your four buttons.

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Beep)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Hand)
    End Sub
 
 
    Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
        My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Exclamation)
    End Sub
End Class

Explanation:

Using the My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound method we can get the system sound in our computer. This will trigger to find the system sound in which we always hear in using our computer. The My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound method will play the system sound in our four buttons. For Button1 it will play beep system sound, Button2 will play asterisk system sound, Button3 will play hand system sound, and Button4 will play hand exclamation sound, respectively.
