Struggling With audio files not playing properly

[Bottlefury]

HI.  I have two Audio Controls - one plays a success noise, one a buzzer - they play depending on whether a record is found in a data table.  For some reason they will only play again once the other one has played.  So for example if it doesn't find a record it plays the buzz... but then if once again it doesn't find a record it wont play the buzz until a record has been found and it plays the beep.  I have in my start code this If(
!IsBlank(
LookUp(
Table1_1,
Column1 = varScan
).Column1
),
true,
false
)

Can anyone help?

Hi @Bottlefury ,

Make the Start a Variable (I will use varPlay here) - you need to trigger this from something - probably directly after you set varScan

If(
   !IsBlank(
      LookUp(
         Table1_1,
         Column1 = varScan
      ).Column1
   ),
   UpdateContext({varPlay: false});
   UpdateContext({varPlay: true})
)

As you can see, you need to reset the Variable for the Media Player to start.
