DirectSound is not capable of playing mp3 audio. Use DirectShow for this purpose.

thanks but the problem is that all files ( mp3 and wav ) must be played at the same time and will share some classes ( enumerate sound cards and play each one in a specific device and volume control ) so if i use directsound for WAV and directshow for mp3 is it not possible in these conditions ? thanks

why not use DirectShow for both the files?

hello
because for example in order to enumerate sound card and and volum control and play each sound in a specific sound card i will use directsound so maybe i will have problems using directshow for playing files and directsound for enumerating devices volum control
