    Help with creating custom audio function

    Hello,

    I'm trying to make a windows-focused , I will make it portable after , audio function that plays sounds according to my midi file. I know there is playsound, but it's not what I desire. I'm curious if Beep plays through the sound card or is similar to printf("\a") ? I'm just looking for a low level solution.

    There really aren't 'low level' audio solutions; the whole point of a modern OS and driver architecture is that you don't write low level audio solutions unless you're writing device drivers.

    This would be more appropriate for the Windows forum, but the lowest level you're going to get is probably MCI:
