"and i wanna play file from user's own localdisk as see in DirectoryInfo."

You can't. Your server has no access to the client local disk: the DirectoryInfo you retrieve will for the the server disk, not the client.

But why it's not playing for chrome and firefox in my above code as it's being playing in IE correctly then what's the problem with the path in chrome and firefox.

You can't. Security won't let you - even by default - know what is behind the client browser (except in special circumstances which do not apply in 99.99% of situation". For all you know, the device browsing to you may not have a drive as you would recognise it: it could be a phone, an Android tablet, or even an internet equipped fridge!
