"I need a simple one for a party. One that a nontechy person can manage. The plan is I map the sounds, and my uncle presses the keys on party day"

AlomWare Toolbox solution: Use actions bound to different hotkeys to play the sounds/media. Here's an example action:

(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.
REFERENCE : See an example of pasting at alomware.com/paste.png
0001 Computer: Play media file "c:\sounds\cheer.mp3"
(End)

How it looks in AlomWare Toolbox to play it with a hotkey (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C in this example):
