Right Click the toolbox and select cosomize toolbox.
Click on the Com Components tab and scroll down to the bottom were it says "Windows Media Player".
Click the check box beside it and click ok.
At the bottom of the toolbox their sould now be the Windows Media Player control.

API will work too:

Private Declare Auto Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal ByVallpszSoundName As String, ByVal hModule As Integer, ByVal dwFlags As Integer) As Integer
 
SUB...etc
 
        Dim pathtofile As String = "c:\test.wav"
        Dim fileName As String = String.Concat(pathtofile)
        Const SND_FILENAME As Integer = &H20000
 
        PlaySound(fileName, 0, SND_FILENAME)
 
end sub
