Play audio on remote computer
Hi,
I'd like to set up to play audio on remote computer during distributed testing.
Any idea?

Hi Balint,
There are many different objects to play music. For example, to play *.wav files on slave computers, you can use the SAPI.SpVoice object:
Set oVoice = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
set oSpFileStream = CreateObject("SAPI.SpFileStream")
oSpFileStream.Open "c:\Windows\Media\tada.wav"
oVoice.SpeakStream oSpFileStream
oSpFileStream.Close
oVoice.Speak "Finished Playing wave file."
or the WMPlayer.OCX object to play *.mp3:
Set wmp = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX")
wmp.openPlayer("D:\MP3\Adiemus.mp3")
Also, many years ago, Helen Kosova posted a very funny script that plays Jingle Bells via PC Speaker:
// Note frequencies (in Hertz)
var C4 = 261.63, C3 = C4 / 2, C5 = C4 * 2, C6 = C5 * 2, D4 = 293.66, D3 = D4 / 2, D5 = D4 * 2,
E4 = 329.63, E3 = E4 / 2, E5 = E4 * 2, F4 = 349.23, F3 = F4 / 2, F5 = F4 * 2, G4 = 392,
G3 = G4 / 2, G5 = G4 * 2, A4 = 440, A3 = A4 / 2, A5 = A4 * 2, B4 = 493.88, B3 = B4 / 2,
B5 = A5 * 2, REST = 0;
// Note durations (in milliseconds)
var
WHOLE = 2000,
HALF = WHOLE /2,
QUARTER = HALF /2,
EIGHTH = QUARTER /2,
SIXTEENTH = EIGHTH /2;
// An object that represents a note
function Note(tone, duration)
{
this.Tone = tone;
this.Duration = duration;
}
// An object that represents a lyrics snippet
function Lyrics(text)
{

Hi Balint,
Thanks for the explanation.
Currently, there is no way to configure the parameters of the Remote Desktop Connection tool in Network Suite. We have a corresponding suggestion in our DB - I've increased its rating.
You can use the following workaround at the moment:
1. Set the "Login mode" property equal to the Manual option in the Hosts editor.
2. Run the Remote Desktop Connection utility and set the parameters you need in it.
3. Run your test. As you have selected the Manual mode, TestComplete will run the test in the user session you've opened on the previous step.
- Thanks your answer.
Sorry my description wasn't univoque.
How can I set up TestCompelte to play audio on remote computer during distributed testing?
How can I set up TestComplete remote connections?
I need the following settings:
