Welcome to the forums.

Is this what you're looking for?

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
End Sub

there seems to be something wrong with this line :

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

There was a pop up error msg...

This keeps repeating until you press the button again to stop it.
Add a command button, and erase everything in the form, before you paste this code in. (Make sure that your wave file is in the right folder)

Start a new project. Paste in the code I gave you. Do you still get the message?
