# PHASESoundEvent.StartHandlerReason

Indicates the status after starting a sound event.

## Declaration

```swift
enum StartHandlerReason
```

## Overview

Overview When your app starts a sound event by calling 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.
