Use the Sound VIs to play sounds.

Note  (Windows and Linux) These Sound VIs ship on the Windows and Linux platforms for compatibility reasons. With the exception of the Beep VI, these VIs do not appear on any LabVIEW palette. Use the Sound VIs found on the Graphics and Sound palette to build VIs that incorporate sound.
