Notification custom Sound not playing

Question

I have tested my App without any custom sound and the default sound plays perfectly

 var prayerName = App_Code.helperMethods.getPrayerNameforNotification(i);
            ToastAudio tA = new ToastAudio();
            tA.Src = new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/Sounds/AnyDay.mp3");
            

            ToastContent con = new ToastContent()
            {
                Visual = new ToastVisual()
                {
                    TitleText = new ToastText() { Text = "Namaz Pro" },
                    BodyTextLine1 = new ToastText() { Text = prayerName + " in " + App_Code.StoreRetrieveSettingsAssist.getLocation() },
                    BodyTextLine2 = new ToastText() { Text = App_Code.helperMethods.userSpecifiedTimeFormat(myPT, DateTime.Today) },
                },

                Launch = DateTime.Today.ToString("ddMMyyyy") + i.ToString(),

                Scenario = ToastScenario.Alarm,

                Duration = ToastDuration.Short,

                Audio = tA,



            };

           

            return con;

I have three projects in my Solution :

1> App_Code  

2> BackgroundTasks (References App_Code)

3> XYZ Pro(References App_Code)  {MAIN APP}

My custom sound is "AnyDay.mp3"(for the curious ones its by Elvis) placed inside main project as : XYZ Pro/Assets/Sounds/AnyDay.mp3

However the sound doesn't play at all and Notification acts as if it is silent.

Hi

Check following code, It worked for me by playing custom audio.

            ToastAudio tA = new ToastAudio();
            tA.Src = new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/Sounds/AnyDay.mp3");

            ToastContent con = new ToastContent()
            {
                Visual = new ToastVisual()
                {
                    TitleText = new ToastText() { Text = "Namaz Pro" },
                    BodyTextLine1 = new ToastText() { Text="Audio toast notification"}

                },
                Scenario = ToastScenario.Alarm,

                Duration = ToastDuration.Short,

                Audio = tA,
            };

            ToastNotification toast = new ToastNotification(con.GetXml());
            ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier().Show(toast);

Answer 2

The problem is my SOlution is spread across projects. My App_Code project is not my main app

Answer 3

@Rahul Jha,

Can I understand that your app code cannot get the mp3 file from your main project? Please try copy your mp3 file to the target machine and use some WinRT api to get it and play it. Then I think it will playing without problem.

Best regards,

Barry
