Play WAV in VB6 Help

Does anyone have the Code and Declarations necessary to play
WAV Files in VB6? This must be done without the Windows Media
Player Console becoming visible.

A shell function used to work, but it does not work any more.
Any help greatly appreciated.

PlaySound()

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA"
