Unwanted 'Click' sound using the MMcontrol with Windows 7 (Dell machine)

Hi all.

Have used the MMcontrol for years with no problem.

Just ran some VB6 code on a Dell with Windows 7. (executable)

Every time a wav file plays, there is an audible click at the beginning and the end.
Not just 1 file, but all wav files.

Here is the code I am using:

''''''''
With MainForm.SoundControl
.Wait = true
.Shareable = False
.DeviceType = "WaveAudio"
.Filename = "myfile.wav"
.Command = "Sound"
End With
''''''''

Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Anyone have a work around?

Thanks!

David
