Are you sure that there an event called 'onPlaySound' ?

[boro]

yes

function playSounds ( file,vol ) 
    local sound = playSound( file ) --Play file from the resource folder 
        setSoundVolume(sound, vol) -- set the sound volume to 100% 
end 
addEvent( "onPlaySound", true ) 
addEventHandler( "onPlaySound", getRootElement(), playSounds )

setTimer(removeEventHandler,1 * 60 * 1000 ,1, "onPlaySound",playSounds) 

That should work.

For some reason, setTimer fails sometimes, at least in my case when using eventHandler, evenmore when having arguments.

Try this:

setTimer(function() removeEventHandler("onPlaySound") end, 60000, 1)
