Question

I’ve tried using Console.Beep() at low millisecond rates two play two frequencies ‘at once’, but the pause between beeps ruins it. I have tried researching it but I’ve found nothing, and don’t know where to start, aside from DirectSound, which I’m looking in to. All I need is to make a program that plays two or more frequencies simultaneously out of one speaker, in C#.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I suggest you look at DirectSound, which has nice .NET bindings. You can use two (or more) Buffer objects and invoke their Play methods to play them simultaneously.

This tutorial shows how to implement a simple drum machine in C# by synthesising sounds on the fly. Hope it helps.
