Stop sound playback in C# with SDL library

Question

I have this problem where I can't stop the audio file from playing.

This is a snippet of my code:

private Sound bgMusic;
bgMusic = new Sound("bgMusic.wav");

if(gameHasStarted)
    bgMusic.Play();

else
    bgMusic.Stop();

I've searched Google mulptiple times, but without any success. The music just doesn't stop. I've tried threading this audio file, but without luck. I've also tried using a MediaPlayer - the sound always plays, whichever option I choose, but it just doesn't stop.

So my question: How do I stop audio file from playing? Do I need to reset it? Close it? Destroy it? How?!

Answer 1

It's actually not that difficult:

private System.Media.SoundPlayer playerMainMenu; - initialize player

playerMainMenu = new System.Media.SoundPlayer("getlucky.wav"); - load file

playerMainMenu.PlayLooping(); - to play looping

playerMainMenu.Play(); - to play once

playerMainMenu.Stop(); - to stop this player

Works like a charm. Found by trial-and-error.
