In Windows, you can play images in My Pictures in screensaver as slideshow. However, it does not support playing sound. You will need a tool to create a screensaver with sound.

There's many software that help you to create beautiful screensaver along with your favorite music. I have tried a lot of them. Nevertheless, I recommend you to use Photo Screensaver Maker because it has a very friendly appearance. Besides, this program is very easy to operate. You only have to choose what pictures and what sounds you want to be in your screensaver. Photo Screensaver Maker will give out a great result.

The Pro version of Photo Screensaver Maker costs about $18. You can go here to download the trial version with only about 2 MB of your system resource .

After successfully installed, Photo Screen Maker will provide you an outstanding screensaver creator. With only a few steps, you would have a great slideshow.

Step 2: Click "Picture". Then, click "+" to add in as many pictures as you like. Click "-" to remove the picture you do not want.

Step 3: Click "Music". Similar to "Picture' section, click "+" to put in the music file you like. As my experience, this program supports MP3, WAV and MID. Click "-" to remove the files you do not want.

Step 4: Go to "Settings". This feature allows you to add text into your screensaver. You can also set up the time and other properties for the screensaver here.

Step 5: In "Effect" section, you can choose up to 50 different effects. Each of them is very unique and attractive.
