Yep, that lot comes out as 0x10083. So I don't know why it's not working for you.

Hmm. Interesting. I suspected that I might be doing something wrong in VB, but then for the heck of it I compiled this C code...

#include "stdio.h"
#include "windows.h"
#include "mmsystem.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	PlaySound("emplodeDownloadFailure", NULL, SND_ASYNC | SND_NODEFAULT | SND_APPLICATION | SND_ALIAS);
	return 0;
}

And I still get no sound when I run that program. And yes, I checked to make sure that there was a sound assigned to Emplode Download Failed in Control Panel, and tested the sound.
