What I have noticed is that Amirc only seems to play #?.wav I have some samples but when I try to play them Amirc reports cant play sample.ilbm.wav as it seems to add .wav to all samples On the contrary. It can only play files called #?.(8svx|iff). BTW. This pattern is set in the file requester. What file requester ? [21:31] =ABError=BB Usage: /SOUND soundfile[.wav] action_text To play a sound I just type /sound lol As someone else said, this wasn't what I meant. But you're right here; the /SOUND can only play wav because it plays on every klient in the channel IF they have the same sample. This is an IRC standard AFAIK. The settings in AmIRC are obviously not ;) Well, going on vacation for a week or two now!

Hmm.. I can't get MultiView to play anything except 8svx either?? This is really strange because I have: [cut] But MultiView says unknown datatype for everything except 8svx..! What's wrong?! Simple problem. Those datatypes by Stephan Rupprecht needs SoundDT v41. It comes with an svx.datatype as well, which afaik, works better than 8svx.datatype. SoundDT v41 is also from Stephan Rupprecht, btw. Yea, I saw in snoopdos v41sound.datatype was attempted to be opened. I will try these new files from Rupprecht after my vacation. -- All greetings from Deniil: - The Amiga Spirit will live forever and ever.. . . .

Hello Daniel Isn't AmIRC supposed to use datatypes to play sound? If so, whey can it only play 8SVX samples?? I have tried aiff and wav and I'm sure I have datatypes for them but they wouldn't play, I only get the DisplayBeep() instead :-( Use play16 as external player :-) C:PLAY16 output=AHI %n Regards -- Robin - http://www.amiganiac.de/

Daniel Westerberg : Isn't AmIRC supposed to use datatypes to play sound? If so, whey can it only play 8SVX samples?? Sorry, this won't help you, but I thought I'd point out that the GUI is blatantly wrong. You can't select ANY sound without enabling the Beep checkmark, which in itself calls DisplayBeep(). I don't have any sound gear attached here to test any of this, but anyway either they should separated entities, or ticking Beep should *disable* the possibility to select a sound sample, not the other way around.

And I don't gain anything, except more formats, because Play16 can't be made to play on an AHI channel, only by direct exclusive access. I have also tried SFPlay but it's even slower as it uses sndfile.library but atleast it can play on an AHI channel making it able to mix with f.ex.

Yes, but if handled internally, the soundfiles could be decoded only once as they are now. This is not possible with an external player. BTW: Play16 doesn't use datatypes.
