Playsound

[Mike Winfrey]

I am trying to play a sound in a custom indicator and the sound doesn't play. No errors show in the log and I put a print statement in the same location as the playsound. The print statement works just as it should but the ding or sound doesn't play. sound is working on my computer. I checked that again to be sure. Also i realize that playsound doesn't work on historic data. I am testing on live data. I created the sounds folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\My Documents\NinjaTrader 6 and copied the ding.wav to that folder.

Here's the code:
if (Bars.Period.Id == PeriodType.Volume)
{
remainingVol = (int)(Bars.Period.Value - Volume[0]);
if (remainingVol <= amountLeft)
{
PlaySound("ding.wav");
Print("ding " + remainingVol + " " + amountLeft);
}
}

Again, the output window show the "ding" being printed but I don't hear the sound and sound is working on my computer.

thanks,
Mike

As documented here http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...PlaySound.html sound files needed to be located in C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6\sounds.

Also: The logs will indicate that error.
