How to stop playing a sound that is played with the PlaySound() function?

Question

I played a sound using the PlaySound() function. How can I stop playing that sound? Is there any function that can do that job?

Answer 1

The documentation has the following to say about the pszSound parameter:

If this parameter is NULL, any currently playing waveform sound is stopped.

Following that contract you simply call

::PlaySound(nullptr, nullptr, 0);

to stop playing.

Answer 2

You can use the following:

PlaySound(NULL, NULL, 0);
