Play sound

Plays one sound file on your computer, like an alert sound or a funny noise. It can wait until the sound is over or carry on straight away.

Setting	What to put in
Sound file	The sound's full location on your computer, like C:\Sounds\airhorn.mp3. Works with .wav, .mp3, .ogg and .flac files.
Output device	Which speakers or headphones to play on, picked from the list. Empty = your computer's normal sound output.
Volume (0-100)	How loud, from 0 (silent) to 100 (full). The default is 100. Starts as: 100.
Wait until finished	Tick to wait until the sound is over before the next step. Unticked, the next step starts right away. Starts as: true.
Sound tag	Optional. A name you make up, so "Stop sounds" can stop all sounds with that name, like "alerts".
Use the file name as the tag	Tick to use the sound's file name (like "airhorn") as its tag, so "Stop sounds" can stop it by name. Starts as: false.

%soundFile%	The location of the sound that was played
