I have not had much success with PlaySound on my BX-35. I have written a small basicx program to play a sound stored in the eeprom from bytes 20000 to 30000... Option Explicit Public Sub Main() Call FreqOut(40,4000,4000,1.0) delay 0.5 Call PlaySound(40,20000, 10000,5000,10) Call FreqOut(40,2000,2000,1.0) 'Call playSound(40,400,10300,2000,0) ' End Sub I inserted the sound values by appending binary data to the .bxb file. When I run the program, the BX-35 just resets after the first tone and delay, so what you get is a tone every .5 seconds. If it worked, I should get 20 secods of music (5000 sample rate, 10000 samples, 10 repeats = 20 seconds). I just don't understand why this does not work. To check things, I downloaded the SoundFile demo project entitled "Using BasicX Block Data Objects with PlaySound" from BasicX.com. The BX also reset upon reaching the PlaySound command in this demo (everything up to the playsound command worked fine). My first guess is that there is a problem with the BX-35 and playsound. Perhaps with the external EEPROM?? Does anyone have any other theories or experience? Thanks, Stephen

Replying to my own message... I have since tried the same code on a BX-24 and it worked just fine. I have tested with another BX-35 and it also failed. The conclusion is that something is up with PlaySound and the BX-35 and/or the BX-35 development station. No word yet from Netmedia on this though.
