# PHASESoundEvent.StartHandlerReason

Indicates the status after starting a sound event.

```
enum StartHandlerReason
```

## Overview

When your app starts a sound event by calling [`start(completion:)`](/documentation/PHASE/PHASESoundEvent/start(completion:)), the framework invokes the argument closure when starting succeeds or fails. PHASE passes an instance of this enumeration to the closure to describe the results of the call.

## Topics

### Reasons

[`case finishedPlaying`](/documentation/PHASE/PHASESoundEvent/StartHandlerReason/finishedPlaying)

Indicates the framework successfully started the sound event.

[`case terminated`](/documentation/PHASE/PHASESoundEvent/StartHandlerReason/terminated)

Indicates the framework terminated the sound event abruptly.

[`case failure`](/documentation/PHASE/PHASESoundEvent/StartHandlerReason/failure)

Indicates an error occurred while starting the sound event.
