Playing Sound question

[William Prothero]

Folks:
I have a small sample stack that plays audio on desktop and iOS. I haven’t debugged in on Android or Windows, but if anybody would like to see it, here is the link.

It’s very simple, but for those who are not familiar with playing sounds in version 8, it may save you some time.
Best,
Bill
