I have an app with a gallery. Whenever an item is in 'Submitted' status, I want an audio sound to play on repeat until the status changes. Here is what I've done: 1. Set up a timer with the following for OnTimerEnd

If(Gallery256.Selected.Status.Value = "Submitted",
    Reset(Audio1_1);
    UpdateContext({playSound: false});
     UpdateContext({playSound: true}));
 
2. Set the Start attribute for the audio file to playSound. 
 
The timer runs every 10 seconds. I'm not hearing any sound. What am I doing wrong?
I've tested with a button and set the OnSelect to the following and no sound plays.
If(Gallery256.Selected.Status.Value = "Submitted",
    Reset(Audio1_1);
    UpdateContext({playSound: false});
     UpdateContext({playSound: true}));

Hi,

I do not see any code there that would play a sound. I do no see any controls or screens that have controls that are set to auto play or configured to play based on variables.

Modify the OnTimerEnd Property
1.  Instead of resetting the audio, directly toggle the playSound variable:

If(
    Gallery256.Selected.Status.Value = "Submitted",
    UpdateContext({playSound: false});
    UpdateContext({playSound: true})
)

2. Ensure Audio1_1's Media and Start Properties are Correct
Media Property: Ensure that your audio file is correctly referenced.
Start Property: Set it to playSound.

3. Ensure the Timer is Running Continuously

AutoStart: true

Repeat: true

Duration: Set it to your desired interval (e.g., 10000 for 10 seconds).
OnTimerStart: UpdateContext({playSound: false}) to reset before the next cycle.

4. Alternative Approach Using Timer.AutoStart

Instead of using UpdateContext({playSound: false}), you can set Timer.AutoStart to playSound so that the timer resets when the sound is playing.
