Sound file problem in MQL4

[Studded]

I need help with a sound file problem.

I have an indicator that uses the Playsound command to use alert2.wav. But when an alert is triggered it uses alert.wav instead and all other alerts use alert.wav also.

If I untick Tools/Options/Events Enable then alert2.wav works but all other alerts do not make a sound.

What have I done wrong?

If you have a pop-up alert  followed by a playsound in your code, the sound willl not be played so you only hear the sound for the pop-up alert. You will need to code a small break in between to hear the playsound

Thanks GumRai I'll give that a try.

Hello Keith,

What would be an example of a "a small break" that I can add into the indicator code.

Thanks

#define  MAX_DATETIME    D'3000.12.31 23:59:59'
static datetime delaySound = MAX_DATETIME;
if(TimeCurrent() >= delaySound){ delaySound = MAX_DATETIME; playSound...; }

if(condition){ delaySound = TimeCurrent() + 5; doAlert...; }
