That seems more like a reply to mine rather than the one it actually replied to. if you agree, I will consider it for reparenting. If you really meant it where you put it, sorry for the misunderstanding.

The goal of my listing of the various System sounds was to ensure that your soundcard and Win32::Sound installation were correct. Which seems to be the case based on this code.

My other examples -- running sinus.pl, or directly accessing the welcome.wav, while in the Win32::Sound samples/ directory -- was an attempt to make sure that you're really in the directory you think you are, and to make sure you can really get to a local wav file. If you don't want to download the whole tarball, you could run the code from the EXAMPLE portion of Win32::Sound, which will create sinus.wav in your local directory; you can then run perl -MWin32::Sound -e "Win32::Sound::Play('sinus.wav', SND_NODEFAULT)" and it should play, then perl -MWin32::Sound -e "Win32::Sound::Play('sinus.wavx', SND_NODEFAULT)" and it should do no sound at all, because 'sinus.wavx' doesn't exist.
