Play sound during standby on windows mobile?

Question

I got an app which is started on a notify timer (which works on time, it writes into a debug log file).

This app should play a sound, but since the device is on standby, no sound is played.

I'd guess the sound device needs to be woken up, but how do I wake up the device, so I can play a sound?

Answer 1

U have to make a call to PowerPolicyNotify. Refer this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa908497.aspx

Answer 2

Actually I used CeSetUserNotificationEx to activate my program, then I could just use SndPlaySync without any problems and withour changing power policy settings.
