Hide visual interface when playing audio (m4a)

[oseitutuSamuel]

Hi All,

I have a VBA code that plays an audio (ma4) created in Camtasia. When I play the audio, I only want to hear the sound/voice
without the interface displaying. I used the code below, but no matter how I fiddle with it, the media always appears when playing.
I only wish to hear the audio and nothing else. Any help please?

Thanks:

This is a partial code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim FileName As String
Dim Result As LongPtr
FileName = ThisWorkbook.path & "\audio.m4a"
Result = ShellExecute(0&, "", FileName, "vbNullString", "vbNullString", vbNormalFocus)
If Result < 32 Then MsgBox "Error"
End Sub

ShellExecute simply launches whatever your default application for the file is. I suspect the best you could achieve with this code would be something like this, which should hide the app:

Result = ShellExecute(0&, "", FileName, 0&, 0&, 0&)
