SndPlayAsync

  • Article

4/8/2010

This function starts asynchronous playback of a sound.

Note

This call will be successful only if the sound is not already playing.

Syntax

HRESULT SndPlayAsync (
   HSOUND hSound,
   DWORD dwFlags
);

Parameters

  • pszSoundFile
    [in] The sound to play.

    Note

    The sound handle was created using function SndOpen.

  • dwFlags
    Indicates playback options.

    Note

    Currently, the only flag supported is SND_PLAY_IGNOREUSERSETTINGS, so dwFlags can be either 0 or SND_PLAY_IGNOREUSERSETTINGS.

Return Value

The function returns S_OK if successful, returns E_HANDLE if the sound handle is currently used for playing a sound, otherwise returns a standard HRESULT error code. If any flag besides SND_PLAY_IGNOREUSERSETTINGS are set through parameter dwFlags, the function will return E_INVALIDARG.

Remarks

You should call function SndStop to terminate the asynchronous sounds on your process before your application exits.
