Hey all.

I need some help on stopping a sound from playing (pausing it) in a VB6.0 project.

So far, i've got the sound playing with the "Playsound" function. This is pretty much how i declared it :

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

And my code to make a sound play merely consists of this :

Code:
PlaySound (ThisDir + "\Project Sounds\DJ Shadow - Organ Donor.wav"), ByVal 0&, SND_FILENAME Or SND_ASYNC

My problem is that if i want to change the track, say maybe i wanted to listen to some ACDC, it overlaps the original sound (in this case DJ shadow's Organ Donor.) I need to stop the DJ shadow sound and start the ACDC.

So how could i stop the Sound?
