|caveats=*A call to llPlaySound replaces any other sound (so that only one sound can be played at the same time from the same prim), except sounds started with the deprecated [[llSound]] which always plays sound files till the end.
*Sound files must be 30 seconds or shorter.
*Sounds are always sampled at 44.1KHz, 16-bit, mono (stereo files will have one channel dropped--merged (as in combined)--when uploading).
*If the object playing the sound is a {{HoverLink|HUD|Heads Up Display}}, the sound is only heard by the user the HUD is attached to.
**To play a sound inworld from a HUD use [[llTriggerSound]].
*It is impossible to play two (or more) sounds at the same time and have them start playing at exactly the same time ~ {{JIRA|VWR-15663}}
**If multiple sound emitters play the same exact sound within range of the viewer at the same time, they are usually not in sync due to latency between the server/client and script execution & communication delays. This can produce echos, odd resonance, and other strange effects that you (probably) do not want.
*When used in conjunction with [[llSetSoundQueueing]], sounds may incorrectly [https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/443645-llplaysound-plays-the-sound-twice-or-more/ play more than once.] This can be fixed by disabling the sound queue if only a single sound sample is to be played.
