Sound troubles with Music.PlayFile

-----------------------------------

My code
loop
Music.PlayFile ("sworddraw.wav")
end loop

The code seems right to me but when I use it no sounds comes out. There are no errors. I'm thinking that there might be something wrong with the actual sound file so I shal attach it for you all to look at. Hope you can help me. thx
EDIT: Or maybe I won't attch it since compsci doesn't seem to allow you to attach music files. Might I sujest someone (mod/admin) make it so you can. thank you

When using Music.PlayFile, do not use it in a loop.  I believe that that code would start the song and then restart it each time through the loop.  So you wouldn't hear anything, most likely, because there is no sound in the first thousanth of a second in that file.
Otherwise, for that to actually play the file sworddraw.wav has to be in the same directory as your turing program.  If it is in a parent directory you can use ..   if it is in a different directory all together you can write out the whole path.

Nope, and nope. I have it in the same directory and I took off the loops and still nothing.

I suggest you open a new turing window and just type in
Music.PlayFile ("sworddraw.wav")
and see if it works.  that way, you know if its that specific line or something with your program (that prevents that line from being executed).

in your program, use processes now for playing sound.

Still won't let me post the file. And I did zip it but nothing happens when I hit add attchment just refreshs the page and nothing diffent happens.  
And all I have in my program is the Music.PlayFile ("sworddraw.wav") and it still doesn't work.

then it's your file.  have you tried playing it in some other program? (like windows media player or winamp?)
and dan purposefully doesn't allow .wav files to be uploaded.  think about it, they are huge :?
