How can I play a sound in a thread?

Question

I want to play a beep for 1 second in thread. I'm not familiar with threads and maybe there is another easy way without using threads. I used console.beep(), but unfortunately it freeze's the form for a second.

while(true)
{
   do some jobs;
   console.beep();
}

The Winform app freeze on the console.beep(); for one second. I need to pass the line and simultaneously beep for one second.

Please show us some code so we can help you identify what is wrong. — Trevor, Sep 13 '19 at 15:12

You can use

using System.Media;


    SystemSounds.Beep.Play();

And Play() doesn't block so you don't need a Thread. It plays whatever is configured in the User's sytem sound settings.

But if you need to know when the sound has finished this is not what you want.
