Stan: Very sorry for the frustration! Unfortunately, you are correct. There is a problem with setting up the playsound function, @#$!!@#. We have a "Z" where we should have had a "Y", Why? Sleep depravation? I don't know. Fortunately it only affects this function. The good news is that you get a free BX24 development system for finding the bug. With the fixed BX24. When you verify that the problem is fixed, you can send your other BX24's in for "rebraining". Make sure you tell us it works so we can put it into production. Anyone else who needs the playsound function can send their BX24's in and have them "rebrained" for free.
