did you check ::GetLastError() (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/getlasterror.asp) to see why it failing? did you enter in debug mode to see if function succeed or not?

and please post some code.

Cheers

Please post the code you use to play the sound.
Are you getting compile time errors or runtime errors?
What is the exact error you get?

What exactly do you mean by "fail"? The program does not crash, but the sound is not played, or does the program crash? If you simply cannot hear the sound (instead of that you hear a "beep"), then you have probably given the 1st argument (the filename of the audio file to play) wrong.
