How to Play a WAV File Using DirectX With Visual Basic

You can use the DirectX plugin in your Visual Basic applications to play WAV files in your software. You must first create a DirectX variable and then specify the WAV file you want to play. The "Play" function plays the music, but you can play the music at any point during your interaction with the application.
