First change:
if (Value == -1)

to:
if (Value)

There's no guarantee that install_sound returns -1 on error, but it will
return a non-zero value on failure.

Ok now here's your problem. When you call play_sample(), it returns as soon
as it starts playing, not when its finished. If it did, how would it return
if you tell it to continuously loop? Since you call destroy_sample()
immediately after, you don't hear anything. You should have it wait for
something like a keypress. Try inserting getch() in-between these two
functions like this:

play_sample(Sound,255,100,22050,1);
getch(); // Wait for any keypress.
destroy_sample(Sound);
