Hi
I'm sorry I'll try to be clearer in what I'm looking for.

explanation: I'm looking for a way to turn on and off the music and sound effects in my levels from the key board. I tried using sound_vol and setting it to 0 with a key command but this doesn't occur real time.

I did see some audio tutorials that incorporate some sort of CD player control via panels, similar or exactly what you were describing in your first response. I didn't see it until now.

I will try using the media_play series and let you know how it worked out

Thanks again
