Sound Clips

Apr 6, 2007

I'm trying to write some VB code that will call up a sound file each time I give a new cell focus.

Example:

Cell A1 holds value "Hello"

I'm trying to write code that calls a sound clip I've recorded that says "Hello" when I select A1

Any suggestions?

Insert Video Clips From Folder

Nov 9, 2008

I have been looking at the ShowFilePicsDemo.xls from www.contextures.com written by Ron Coderre. This spreadsheet and macros allows a user to choose from a list a picture by name, and the macro references it with the location of the file, the opens the file and the picture appears in a specified range of cells on the spreadsheet.

I was hoping to use it but with very short clips (2-3 secs) as I need to go through about 350 clips one by one to look at oddities on them. I have manually started a macro to insert the video clip in the sheet using the tip given on a thread in this forum called "Playing a video during the presentation" where all the steps are explained. When I reread the macro however, the clip is embedded as an object and loses its identity which means that the macro has no reference to the location of the file which could be used for the next clip.

VBA Sound Wav Alterations

Aug 24, 2006

I have made a standard Demo Workbook for testing Wav file VBA in this case.

It shows the problem code and a series of counters.

When the RED macro button is pressed, it should show the error code. and below a brief explanation.

I don't think it is an actual error as such, but I ask for an alteration. Once the code is solved, the GREEN button should work. If the demo book is downloaded it will explain better.

Turning Off The Clipboard Sound

Dec 12, 2007

I recently installed Office 2002 onto a new computer and found that whenever I drag-and-drop any amount of data from one cell to another, a loud obnoxious noise plays when I release the drag-and-drop data.

I was using the same version of Office on my old computer and did not have this problem.

I'm guessing it's a clipboard issue, since when I open the Excel clipboard (where I currently have all options as unchecked) and copy something so it is captured there, the same noise plays.

I already have turned off Windows sounds via the Control Panel and have no clue how to turn off this sound.

Play Sound When Cell Contains Certain Value?

Jul 13, 2013

Just want to know if there is a way to play a sound based on the value of a cell. In this case, if the cell says "S" then the sound is a low note and if the cell says "L" then the sound is a high note. If the cell is "" then there is no sound.

How To Get Sound Toggle Button

Apr 7, 2014

Is there a way to get a sound toggle button on excel?

What I need is a button to turn the sound alerts on and off on my spreadsheet. Ideally I'd like a button that either changed an image to the speaker image when on and the speaker image with line through it when off. Is that possible?

If not, is it possible to have a button that just says: "Sound:ON" or "Sound:OFF"?

I guess it could be done with tick boxes, or drop down options.

Playing A Sound On Cell Value

Dec 20, 2008

I have an automated sort descend happening all day. The top several cells are coloured green and if a cell jumps to the top from below the green cells, I would love a warning sound. Is is possible to activate a sound if a cell changes from a colour to a non colour. Preferably if any of the cells within a range of say F2: F6 changes from green to a non colour.

If it is not possible to have a change of colour to activate the macro, I could get around it by - if any cells in a range of H2:H5 >than 1 it plays a sound.

Sound Alert IF Condition Not Met

Sep 20, 2007

I am trying achieve the following. I have bracketed each part seperate part for clarity.

(if a1+b1+c1 = 10 or more), and (a2 = 10 or more) and (b2 = 10 or more) (then sound an alert) (and display the number 1 in d1) (if not ignore).

I can do parts of the formula but i am getting very very confused trying to combine them together. I am trying to make this formula work in d1.

Can anyone tell me if this is a valid piece of logic that can be represented by an excel formula.

Play Sound Every X Seconds

Oct 17, 2007

I would like to create a macro that plays a sound every 45 seconds or so. In other words, I would like to have a countdown timer that counts from 45 seconds down to 0 seconds and at the end it plays a sound file(could be mp3, wav, etc) to signal the end. After that it should automatically reset itself back to the start of 45s and count down again. This would be repeated about ten to eleven times. What is the easiest way of doing this? It's too confusing. Lets say the audio file was located in: C:my soundseep.wav

>>> Sound User Function Not Working

Oct 22, 2007

I attempted to create a user function as per the link that VBA Noob posted in this post http://www.excelforum.com/excel-worksheet-functions/619446-resolved-play-a-sound-when-a-cell-equals-a-certain-value.html

I get #Name error. I placed the wav file Applause.wav in the same folder as the workbook. What did I do wrong?. Also, assuming I get this problem sorted out, how would I represent the condition "pass" or "fail" as in cell B3 in the Alarm formula? Would it be; Alarm(B3,"Pass") or Alarm(B3,"=Pass") or something else?

Play A Sound When Cell Condition Is Met

Dec 11, 2007

I have 2 cells that take imported info. from a DDE server. Lets say one cell currently has a number of 9.00. Lets say the 2nd cell has a number of 1.00. Lets say the 1st cell over time goes from 9.00 to 8.50 to 7.33 to 6.67 and so on....it continues to go down. At the same time, lets say the 2nd cell is gaining and going from 1.00 to 1.33 to 2.00 to 2.67 to 3.33, and so on...and it continues to go up. I want to have a certain sound play once the two cell numbers "cross" each other. I only want this sound to play one time and not every "tick" as they cross and go up/down. Can someone show me how to program this?

Play Sound File At Set Time Each Day

Dec 20, 2008

I'm trying to automate/keep records of my day by setting up a spreadsheet which : 1) Plays a wav music file at a schedule time as a reminder and 2) at the same time calls up a form where I can enter the results of the activity then 3) saves the results to a sheet where consecutive daily records can be recorded and graphed.

Example

At 5am each day I want a "Motivation.wav" music file to open and play and a form appear where I enter in the number of sit ups, push-ups I get done, which I enter in the form and it gets saved to a sheet where I can graph my progress based on the results recorded.

Play Wav Sound When Cell Is Selected

Nov 24, 2009

I have a wav sound I would like the user to hear when the cell is selected
Each cell has a word in it:

a1 = relator
a2 = woo
a3 = strategic

each word has a related recording that is in the form of a wav sound file. (does the wav filke have to be stored in a certain place...?) perused lots of Qs & As but didn't find one this simple: the user clicks the cell and the sound plays.

Why Doesn't The Sound Play When The Value Changes Indirectly?

May 21, 2008

This is a complete mystery to me. I have some code (reproduced below) that plays a .wav file when any of the values in a1:a9 changes from 0 to greater than 0. This code works when I manually change one of the values to a trigger number in any of the cells.

The problem is that the values in a1:a9 are really pointers to other cells. For example,
a1 is "=sum(D9:D20)"

So, when I d9:d20 chnages values such that a1 changes from 0 to 5, the sound doesn't play. To put it simply, if I type "5" in a1 the sound plays. If a1 = D1 and I type "5" in D1 the value in A1 changes to 5 but the sound doesn't play.

How do I modify this code such that any change in the value of A1:A9, no matter the source of that data change, triggers the playing of the sound? ......

Cell To Flash And Play A Sound

What I want to achieve is for say if the value in cell A1 equals the value in cell B1, then cell A1 to flash a background colour (eg. red), and also play a sound. I assume this can only be achieved using VBA, of which I am not conversant with. I am searching the forum for answers, but not yet found one that addresses my problem exactly (being a complete VBA newbie). In the meantime if some could assist please or point me to a thread that addresses this query.
