DspPlaySound causes Windows 'egg timer' on client

Hi,

I've recently upgraded from VJC 2015 SP1 patch 13 to Citect 2016 + latest update (23, Nov 13). Pretty much my whole system looks happy running on Citect 2016, with one exception. It seems every time i call the DspPlaySound() function on the client, it causes the Windows 'egg timer/busy' icon to be displayed next to the mouse pointer. Note - the intended sound (defined as C:\Citect\Alarm\<filename>.wav) still plays/sounds ok.

I'm trying to determine if this problem has been introduced with the upgrade to Citect 2016. I've compared the help file for this function from both versions of Citect, and they look identical.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Thanks

  • Hi, colleagues ! Is there any progress with the reported issue ? I've also started Tab_Style audible alarm "engine" within my Citect 2018 SA project and got 'egg timer' , when any priority sound is playing. (Citect SCADA 2018 Feb 12 update, Windows 2012R2 on Virtualbox VM)
