## Remarks  
 The properties exposed by the `My.Computer` object return information about the computer on which the application is deployed, as determined at run time. Typically, this data differs from what was available on the development computer.  
  
 Some members, such as the `My.Computer.Audio` object, are available only for non-server applications.  
  
 The following table lists examples of tasks involving the `My.Computer` object.

## Examples  
 The `My.Computer.Audio.Play` method plays the specified sound in the background when `AudioPlayMode.Background` is specified.  
  
 [!code-vb[VbVbalrMyComputer#15](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_VBCSharp/VbVbalrMyComputer/VB/Class1.vb#15)]  
  
 This code can run only within a Windows Forms application.  
  
 The file name should reference a .wav sound file on your system.  
  
 To simplify the management of your sound files, consider storing the files as application resources. The files can then be accessed through the [My.Resources Object](~/docs/visual-basic/language-reference/objects/my-resources-object.md).
