private void tsbutton_MouseEnter(object sender,EventArgs e) { System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(); a = 1; if (b == 1) { player.SoundLocation = "C:\\WINDOWS\\Media\\tada.wav"; player.Play(); } } In this a = 1; if (b == 1) { When your b will become 1 ? Is this is hiccup?

now plz check this out private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(); b=1 if (a == 1) { player.SoundLocation = "C:\\WINDOWS\\Media\\tada.wav"; player.Play(); } } private void tsbutton_MouseEnter(object sender,EventArgs e) { System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(); a = 1; if (b == 1) { player.SoundLocation = "C:\\WINDOWS\\Media\\tada.wav"; player.Play(); } } :rolleyes:

Hi, some suggestions: 1. have only one SoundPlayer, make it a class member 2. dont use variable names such as a and b, no one understands them (including yourself) 3. have a bool "soundEnabled" which gets set/cleared by button5 and ... 4. have a bool "alreadyPlaying" to prevent multiple concurrent sounds 5. is MouseEnter handler first check soundEnabled, if false, dont do anything; check alreadyPlaying, if false, set it true and start sound asynchronously 6. biggest problem will be how to clear alreadyPlaying since there is no event for end of sound. Maybe a Forms.Timer is the way to go. :)
