Just to note - I've done exactly as described below (silent 500ms sound played - if it hasn't onSoundCompleted by 1s then you have no soundcard) and it works perfectly. Hope that helps next time someone has this problem.

Hi folks, I have a situation where my app doesn't work on a PC with no sound card installed, because I depend on onSoundComplete for a couple of synchronised triggers and (guess what) onSoundComplete is never called if the machine doesn't have a sound card. Not unexpected, I guess. However, unfortunately System.capabilities.hasAudio doesn't report false. I assume it only returns false for builds of a player that doesn't have audio (for example, handhelds and so forth). I could really do with finding a way to detect the presence/absence of a sound card. Any ideas? The one that occurs is to, in app startup, fire off a short sound (say 500ms duration) and check whether the onSoundComplete has been called 1s later - if not, no soundcard - but obviously this slows down app startup and is a bit of a pain. I was wondering if there was anything simpler around..? TIA, Ian
