General Help
General help for playing wave and music midi files

Voice Blaster Jr lets you queue up and play any combination of music midi and multimedia sound wave files.  Windows with multimedia or Windows version 3.1 is required since the audio functions use the multimedia library.

Any sound card that has the Windows multimedia drivers installed will work with this program.  Some of these cards are the Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro and Basic, Thunder Cards, Pro AudioSpectrum Series, and any other cards which have Windows multimedia driver support for music or digitized sound.

There is a driver now available from Microsoft which will allow this program to play wave files over the PC speaker.  You can download the necessary files from CompuServe, search for SPEAKER in the Microsoft support forums.

Contact the manufacturer of your audio card if you do not currently have the Windows multimedia drivers, or if your drivers are older than Jan 1992, chances are there are updates available via BBS or US mail.

Creative Labs and Media Vision both have BBS for downloading the latest drivers.

File Play

Use the round radio buttons on the right to select the file type, or enter the file type in the edit box (*.mid, *.wav).

You may queue up files by double clicking them with the mouse, or by selecting a filename and pressing [enter] in the File list box.  You may queue up any combination of all supported files, and you may change directories and queue up more files, since the directory information for each file is also stored.  You may also move into the 'Queue' list box and deselect a file the same way you select one.

Now you are ready to play the files.  Press Play and start hearing the sound and music files.  In VB Jr, you can minimize the program and run other Windows application.

Select Stop at any time while playing files to end the playing of the current file, and Clear to end the playing of the current and all queued files.  You may select Pause and then Continue at any time during the playing of a midi or sound file to temporary pause a playing file.


Windows 3.0 version

Please see Registering Instructions for how to receive the Voice Blaster Sr for Windows 3.0.  This program allows you to set up sound or midi music files to be played when Windows is run.  This program uses a Windows 3.0 DLL library written by Creative Labs called "SNDBLST.DLL".  This library is not compatible with Windows 3.1, and should only be used for Windows 3.0 support.

Voice Blaster Quick Play

Voice Blaster Quick Play is a program written to receive an optional passing parameter that is the filename you wish to play.  If the filename is found, VB Quick play will run minimized while playing the specified file.  After the file is played, VB Quick Play automatically exits.  An excellent program to use to add .WAV file support in your Windows applications.  The calling Window will remain active while the .WAV file is being played in the background in a minimized window.  An example is:

Select 'File", then "Run", and then enter "c:\windows\vbqplay.exe tada.wav"

This program currently only supports .WAV files. A site license is available for multiple packages.
