VB/WinAPI, Playing sounds even if other applications are playing sounds

Playing sounds even if other applications are playing sounds

Iles Wa #1 / 5	Playing sounds even if other applications are playing sounds I am building a software package which will be operating pretty much in the background monitoring netowork communications. At certain times, the the software will need to generate a tone (play a wave?) to inform the user that the program needs their attention. The user may be engaed in a game. All attempts have failed when the game (or any user application) is generating sounds. (The games will be busy making noise "always"). Is there a way to have VB "Force" its sound through the sound card? Thank you for your help Iles Wade
