System.Media.Soundplayer not a namespace? (mac)

Question

I'm trying to play sounds in c#, and none of the System.Media namespacese are working, instead giving the error: Error CS1069: The type name 'SoundPlayer' could not be found in the namespace 'System.Media' I'm am doing using System.Media; but it still gives the error.

Answer 1

The SoundPlayer class provides a simple interface for loading and playing a.wav file. The SoundPlayer class supports loading a.wav file from a file path, a URL, a Stream that contains a.wav file, or an embedded resource that contains a.wav file.

It is for.Net Framework and not for.Net Core. Essentially, all of the sound-playing functionality that was available in .NET Framework was Windows-specific; therefore none of it made it into .NET Core.

For more information you can check SoundPlayer Class in Microsoft.Net Framework documentation.
