I'm coding a program in Lisp. I cannot get a wav file to play using windows playsound function. Is there any file etc I can check to get this to work? Thanks.

This isn't a Windows problem really, its a programming problem. I would suggest searching 
the web for a Lisp Forum. 

Well I don't use Lisp I programme in Visual Basic. To play a sound in there we use.

Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2

Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal 
lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click() 'A button

Call sndPlaySound(App.Path & "\explode.wav", SND_ASYNC Or SND_NODEFAULT)

End Sub

App.Path is the current directory your exe is running from.

Thanks Keith. The only reason I didn't suspect the code is that several people have used this exact code with no problems. I'll keep searching.
