Hi all Just wanna ask how can I use PlaySound() function to play my background music without being interrupted. I mean If I use PlaySound("musicfile",NULL, SND_ASYNC|SND_LOOP), this would play my music looply, but it would be interrupted once another PlaySound is called, such as a "Fire Bullet" sound. Cheers

I am not the most experienced programmer so I could be horribly wrong, but have you tried adding SND_NOSTOP

I tried. It doesn't work. As soon as another PlaySound() is invoked, the background music stops.

I did a quick check and PlaySound is not capable of playing multiple files (source = http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=260406&SiteID=1).
You have to use another API (you could try DirectX, OpenAl, Fmod or such)

Cheers. I thought so.
