    Hi,

    Set the IsLooped property to true and call the SoundEffectInstance.Play Method.

    Please refer the following sentence under Remarks section in this link.

    To loop a sound or apply 3D effects, call CreateInstance instead of Play, and SoundEffectInstance.Play.

    Hi. Tvm for reply. seems like following your suggest the right code the exactcodeshould look like this:

    SoundEffect soundEffect;
    soundEffect = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("music_wav");
    SoundEffectInstance instance = soundEffect.CreateInstance();
    instance.IsLooped = true;
    instance.Play();

    but, this is not working too,after starting debug, music_wav play for 1/10 sec about (for a very short time) then stops immediately leaving game with no sound.i am stuck at this point.

    i' ve solved using XNA *.xap Project and with another classfrom Xna.framework :

    System.Media.SoundPlayer Player1 = new System.Media.SoundPlayer("bonus_music.wav");
    Player1.Play();
    Player1.PlayLooping();

    both are working fine. remain my interest  to use SoundEffectInstance class to have a sound working loop , not  yet solved. Tvm :) i stay tuned shuold you have other suggest.
