The [[_SNDSETPOS]] statement changes the current/starting playing position in seconds of a sound.


{{PageSyntax}}
: [[_SNDSETPOS]] {{Parameter|handle&}}, {{Parameter|position!}}


{{PageDescription}}
*Changes the current/starting playing position in seconds (a [[SINGLE]] value) of a sound in memory.
