How to Play Custom Sound In Flutter?

To play custom sound in flutter we can use this plugin adds audio support to Flutter: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/audioplayer

Future play() async {
  final result = await audioPlayer.play(kUrl);
  if (result == 1) setState(() => playerState = PlayerState.playing);
}

// add a isLocal parameter to play a local file
Future playLocal() async {
  final result = await audioPlayer.play(kUrl);
  if (result == 1) setState(() => playerState = PlayerState.playing);
}


Future pause() async {
  final result = await audioPlayer.pause();
  if (result == 1) setState(() => playerState = PlayerState.paused);
}

Future stop() async {
  final result = await audioPlayer.stop();
  if (result == 1) {
    setState(() {
      playerState = PlayerState.stopped;
      position = new Duration();
    });
  }
}

A simple solution for playing a file already defined in assets is using AudioCache. Library: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/audioplayers. More about AudioCache After adding the library to pubspec.yaml

import 'package:audioplayers/audio_cache.dart';

add an asset in the same file and place the file with sound in assets folder (if you don’t have this folder, create it)

assets:
- assets/sound_alarm.mp3

then add this code:

static AudioCache player = new AudioCache();
const alarmAudioPath = "sound_alarm.mp3";
player.play(alarmAudioPath);

Check out an example here

Add the library to your pubspec.yaml and

audioplayers: ^0.15.1

In pubspec. yaml under flutter add the reference to your assets file:

flutter
    assets:
       - assets/yes.mp3

import the library in your app as

import package:audioplayers/audioplayers.dart;

then define this function:

Future<AudioPlayer> playLocalAsset() async {
    AudioCache cache = new AudioCache();
   //At the next line, DO NOT pass the entire reference such as assets/yes.mp3. This will not work.
   //Just pass the file name only.
    return await cache.play("yes.mp3"); 
}

• call the function whenever you need to play a sound: await playLocalAsset();
