Unable to play .wav file in LabVIEW 2017 - Error 4810

[santoshsmalagi]

I am building a simple project using a combination of Color Boxes and Random Number generators and trying to play a sound file simultaneously. I generate three random numbers in the "colour_wheel" sub VI and call it in "disco_lights".  The idea is to change the colors randomly. I am able to achieve this, but the wav file doesn't play. I get an error - "Error 4810 occurred at Play Sound File.vi".

I attempted the steps mentioned on the forum, added the Sound Output clear as well but it doesn't seem to work.  I also tried replacing the wav file, still it didn't work for me.

I am having the same problem. Have you found a solution? Mine worked prior to upgrading to 2017.

Hi, I have no problem with your audio file in this simple VI, I can't open your VI because is later than mine. Could you please post it in a previous version?

I have the same problem. It worked with 2016, but I upgraded to 2017 and now I get an error.  Was there a solution to this issue?

If ther was some code, we could test it and try to reproduce it

Do a save for Previous on an example (to 2016) and some of us with multiple versions can play with it to help you out

I'm trying to use the Play Sound File.vi that came with LabVIEW. I was using LV 2016 32-bit and now I'm using LV 2017 64-bit. I thought it might be a 2016/2017 issue, but I pulled the latest "The Play Sound File.vi" from LabVIEW 2017/vi.lib/sound2/lvsound2.llb.

For some reason I can't attach the .wav file.  Just change the wave file name in the block diagram, I don't think the problem is specific to the wave file.

Thanks,

Nathan

They changed the path from relative to absolute

C:\Users\Jeff\Downloads\Sound Error.vi (Sound Error.vi)
- The VI expected to be at "..\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\vi.lib\sound2\lvsound2.llb\Play Sound File.vi"
was loaded from "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\vi.lib\sound2\lvsound2.llb\Play Sound File.vi".

Looks like either a bug or a feature update to the llb

OH NI /\//\/\/ (Waves hand)  Could you comment?

[Merlin_NK]

Sorry for my ignorance, but is there a easy fix to redirect the vi or do I need to wait for NI to comment?

[dpawson]

So what's the fix then? I'm having the same error and I have LabVIEW 2016

[JÞB]

Yes, ignore the missing vi and replace with Play Sound File.vi from the 2017 palette (Programming>>Graphics and sound>> Sound>>Output>> For all y'all non- quickdroppers)
