DspPlaySound()

Using the DspPlaySound(...)  function, and it seems to work OK, except for the fact that the cursor turns into an hourglass while the sound plays.  If it catches it correctly, a program open indicator in the windows taskbar opens and closes.  Distracting, at best. It does almost seem to be a blocking function.

I see TN000028223 that references a memory leak in the function based on the XML Parser used in windows, but the Microsft documentation is quite confusing about how to update it.

Has anybody else seen this?  Beter yet,has anybody else fixed it?

    We had this exact same problem and resolved it by deleting file C:\Program Files (x86)\Aveva\Citect SCADA 2018 R2\Bin\SE.Citect.Playsound.exe on the target machine.
    If you go with this solution, just be aware that this file will be reinstated on every subsequent Citect Update installation on that machine.

    Hope this helps.
