The PlaySound function plays a sound specified by the given file name, resource, or system event. (A system event may be associated with a sound in the registry or in the WIN.INI file.)

The PlaySound function plays a sound specified by the given file name, resource, or system event. (A system event may be associated with a sound in the registry or in the WIN.INI file.)

Parameters

pszSound: A string that specifies the sound to play. The maximum length, including the null terminator, is 256 characters. If this parameter is NULL, any currently playing waveform sound is stopped. To stop a non-waveform sound, specify SND_PURGE in the fdwSound parameter.

Three flags in fdwSound (SND_ALIAS, SND_FILENAME, and SND_RESOURCE) determine whether the name is interpreted as an alias for a system event, a file name, or a resource identifier. If none of these flags are specified, PlaySound searches the registry or the WIN.INI file for an association with the specified sound name. If an association is found, the sound event is played. If no association is found in the registry, the name is interpreted as a file name.

hmod: Handle to the executable file that contains the resource to be loaded. This parameter must be NULL unless SND_RESOURCE is specified in fdwSound.

fdwSound: Flags for playing the sound. The following values are defined.

Can an audio session cause app delegate to crash during an interruption?

I am seeing a crash in AppDelegate. I believe it is related to a song ending just as I go to make an in-app purchase or possibly the sound effect that I play when an in-app purchase completes (sort of a coin sound), as it happens occasionally but…

using winsound, plays error sound instead of chosen sound

I am using winsound to play a swoosh sound: winsound.PlaySound("D:\GamesImade\pythonpong\bounce.wav", winsound.SND_ASYNC) When I run it with my IDE it works. But if I run the exe file by itself it doesn't work, it plays the windows error sound.
