<br>Hello!<br><br>I have a problem with the PlaySound() function in MS VC++.&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to play an application event:<br><br>PlaySound(&quot;MyInfo&quot;, NULL, SND_APPLICATION ¦ SND_ALIAS ¦ SND_ASYNC);<br><br>In the registry, the follow keys are added:<br><br>HKCU\AppEvents\EventLabels\MyInfo<br>HKCU\Schemes\Apps\MyAPP\MyInfo<br>HKCU\Schemes\Apps\MyAPP\MyInfo\.current = &quot;chimes.wav&quot;<br><br>This way, I can go into Sounds in the Control Panel and choose which sound to associate with my app event.&nbsp;&nbsp;But it doesn't seem to find the correct alias, so it always plays the SystemDefault event.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I add SND_NODEFAULT to the PlaySound command, it doesn't play anything at all.<br><br>Has anyone encountered this or knows how to deal with it?<br><br>Thankyou!
