try this following code :

Private Const SND_APPLICATION = &H80         '  look for application specific association

Private Const SND_ALIAS = &H10000     '  name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry

Private Const SND_ALIAS_ID = &H110000    '  name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry identifier

Private Const SND_ASYNC = &H1         '  play asynchronously

Private Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000     '  name is a file name

Private Const SND_LOOP = &H8         '  loop the sound until next sndPlaySound

Private Const SND_MEMORY = &H4         '  lpszSoundName points to a memory file

Private Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2         '  silence not default, if sound not found

Private Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10        '  don't stop any currently playing sound

Private Const SND_NOWAIT = &H2000      '  don't wait if the driver is busy

Private Const SND_PURGE = &H40               '  purge non-static events for task

Private Const SND_RESOURCE = &H40004     '  name is a resource name or atom

Private Const SND_SYNC = &H0         '  play synchronously (default)

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long



Private Sub Form_Load()

    PlaySound "C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA\TADA.WAV", ByVal 0&, SND_FILENAME Or SND_ASYNC
