Sound Flags

Const SND_ALIAS = &H10000
Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000
Const SND_LOOP = &H8
Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2
Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10
Const SND_NOWAIT = &H2000
Const SND_SYNC = &H0

The sound flags determine how to play a .wav file. They can be combined as long as a contradictory pair is not put together (like SND_ASYNC and SND_SYNC).

SND_ALIAS
Play a Windows sound (such as SystemStart, Asterisk, etc.).
SND_ASYNC
Continue program execution immediately after starting to play the sound.
SND_FILENAME
Play the specified filename.
SND_NODEFAULT
Do not play the default sound if the specified sound cannot be found.
SND_NOSTOP
Do not stop any currently playing sounds.
SND_NOWAIT
Do not wait if the sound driver is busy.
SND_SYNC
Wait until the sound has finished playing before continuing program execution.
