I am attempting to play several wav files from memory using PlaySound. Usually the first time I attempt to play the sounds I only hear the last sound. On some computers there is a random delay between playing each sound. Sometimes only the last sound plays.

I am using the following function to play the sounds:

void __fastcall TForm1::playSoundMemAsync(int waveIndex, bool &result)
{
  result = PlaySound(wavemem[waveIndex], NULL,
                         SND_ASYNC | SND_NOSTOP | SND_MEMORY);
}

The function is called as follows:

// attempt to play all 4 sounds asynchronously
void __fastcall TForm1::PlayAsyncClick(TObject *Sender)
{
  bool status;

  playSoundMemAsync(0, status);
  do{
    playSoundMemAsync(1, status);
  }while(status == false);
  do{
    playSoundMemAsync(2, status);
  }while(status == false);
  do{
    playSoundMemAsync(3, status);
  }while(status == false);

}

A complete program using the above functions is available at http://www.monroeccc.edu/ckelly/Files/SoundTest.zip

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
