There are bundled sounds in Qlikview, like there are bundled images

You can create a macro to set the sound when the chart is activated

Create a macro like this one

SUB PlaySoundBoutton()

ActiveDocument.PlaySound"qmem://<bundled>/sounds/qv_bttn.wav"

END SUB

And then create a Text Object and add an action to External Action >> Run Macro PlaySoundBoutton

to test it

ActiveDocument.PlaySound "qmem://<bundled>/sounds/qv_bttn.wav"

END SUB

I think you can use a software like Format Factory to convert your different audio files or you can just google "convert mp3 to wav" if you want to upload specific files or even URLs.

By the way, grate post!
