If a file is playing and the current script plays a second file, the first file will be stopped so that the second one can play.


I found a way around it to play overlapping sounds. ^^

You big-shots probably know an easier way, which I'm curious to hear, but this is what I came up with (This example reqs Windows XP):
Code:
^1::
SoundFile = %A_WinDIR%\Media\Windows XP Startup.wav
GoSub, PlaySound
Return

^2::
SoundFile = %A_WinDIR%\Media\Windows XP Shutdown.wav
GoSub, PlaySound
Return

PlaySound:
FileDelete, %A_ScriptDIR%\Sound1.AHK
FileAppend,
(
#NoTrayIcon
SoundPlay, %SoundFile%, Wait
), %A_ScriptDir%\Sound1.AHK
Run, %A_ScriptDIR%\Sound1.AHK
Return


It's odd that while Sound1.AHK is running, you can delete it, write another one, run the other one... And the original Sound1.AHK will still finish o.O

Further condensed by Lexikos:
Code:
^1::PlaySound(A_WinDIR "\Media\Windows XP Startup.wav")
^2::PlaySound(A_WinDIR "\Media\Windows XP Shutdown.wav")
^3::PlaySound(A_WinDIR "\Media\flourish.mid")
^4::PlaySound(A_WinDIR "\Media\onestop.mid")

PlaySound(SoundFile) {
    FileDelete, %A_ScriptDIR%\Sound1.AHK
    FileAppend,
    (
    #NoTrayIcon
    SoundPlay, %SoundFile%, Wait
    ), %A_ScriptDir%\Sound1.AHK
    Run, %A_ScriptDIR%\Sound1.AHK
}

Code:
^1::ToolTip, % "1: " . PlaySound(A_WinDir . "\Media\Windows Startup.wav", "s1")
^2::ToolTip, % "2: " . PlaySound(A_WinDir . "\Media\Windows Shutdown.wav", "s2")
^3::ToolTip, % "3: " . PlaySound(A_WinDir . "\Media\flourish.mid", "s3")
^4::ToolTip, % "4: " . PlaySound(A_WinDir . "\Media\onestop.mid", "s4")
~*Esc::ExitApp

PlaySound(src, alias) {
   DllCall("winmm.dll\mciSendStringA", "Str", "open """ . src . """ alias " . alias, "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0)
   Return, DllCall("winmm.dll\mciSendStringA", "Str", "play " . alias, "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0)
}

... gives error MCIERR_SEQ_PORT_INUSE when playing more than one :(
Maybe it checks per thread, if so you can write a workaround. Alternatively you can try k3phs bass library.

In my Vista PC the scripts in the first post do not play sound overlappingly, but after each other. There is no obvious way to stop the playback.

Also, the file "Windows Startup.wav" exists, but it does not play back.

compile this to wav.exe and send anything you like to it all at the same time, it will load up to 30 instances at once and play all sounds at the same time.
Code:
#NoTrayIcon
SoundPlay,%1%,wait
exitapp


and use my sound effects engine below to test wav.exe
Code:

;Sound Effects:

`::Gosub sfx  ;press the key to the left of 1 to trigger sound effector

sfx:
   Input, UserInput,T1 L1,{Escape},0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z
   If ErrorLevel = Timeout
         Return
   SetKeyDelay, -1
   ifnotexist,%A_ScriptDir%\se\%UserInput%      ;looks in SE folder for a folder named the same as the key you pressed
   {
   filecreatedir,%A_ScriptDir%\se\%UserInput%  ;creates folder if it doesnt exist, then put sounds in it
;   Return
   }
Loop, %A_ScriptDir%\se\%UserInput%\*.*
         Run, %A_ScriptDir%\Wav.exe "%A_ScriptDir%\se\%UserInput%\%A_LoopFileName%"   ;plays all the files in that folder
   vkey=done
   Goto sfx
Return


makes a SE folder wherever you run this script and will make sub folders from 1 to z if you press a key that is not yet defined and then you dump one or as many sounds as you like into that folder, it will play all sounds at once if there are more than one, even video files.....you have ONE second from pressing the `~ key to keep pressing multiple trigger letters, as long as each letter is pressed withing one second it will play the next Sound effect, if you take to long, press the `~ key again to trigger the one second input window.
