No, it shouldn't be like that.
I don't know much about sound, but here's what you should do:
(1) Make sure you have all the latest drivers, and your computer is up to date.
(2) Check your code, make sure the "play sound" command doesn't get called every loop, as it might cause that.

yes.

When you do this in the loop If keystate(32) = 1 then play sound 4
It will play the sound from the start every cycle, as long as that key is pressed.

If you pressed the key from 10 seconds, that sound will constantly play and then rewind back (hench the static you hear), for 10 seconds.

What you should do is put a flag, like this:

If (keystate(32) = 1) and (flag=0)
flag=1
play sound 4
endif

Try that.

see if you can make something like this work. I don't know how long your notes are so I can't tell if this will work or not. using whole notes (about 3 seconds) it works if you don't hold the key down to long.

+ Code Snippet

set dir "C:\Documents and Settings\Bill\My Documents\My Music"

load sound "40.wav",40
load sound "44.wav",44
load sound "47.wav",47

do

if entry$() = "a" then play sound 40:clear entry buffer
if entry$() = "d" then play sound 44:clear entry buffer
if entry$() = "g" then play sound 47:clear entry buffer

loop

try this. change the function to play sound or loop sound which ever works best with your notes.

+ Code Snippet

dim sounds(88)
rem
load sound "40.wav",40:rem middle c
load sound "44.wav",44
load sound "47.wav",47
rem
do
   if keystate(30) = 1 and sounds(40) = 0 then loopsound(40):sounds(40) = 1
   if keystate(32) = 1 and sounds(44) = 0 then loopsound(44):sounds(44) = 1
   if keystate(34) = 1 and sounds(47) = 0 then loopsound(47):sounds(47) = 1
rem
   if keystate(30) = 0 and sounds(40) = 1 then stop sound 40:sounds(40) = 0
   if keystate(32) = 0 and sounds(44) = 1 then stop sound 44:sounds(44) = 0
   if keystate(34) = 0 and sounds(47) = 1 then stop sound 47:sounds(47) = 0
rem
   if spacekey() then exit
loop
rem
function loopsound(value)
   rem play sound value
   loop sound value ,50000,250000,0
endfunction
