    sound command in Visual C++

    Hello everyone,

    would anybody know the syntax for the sound command in
    Visual C++ and which header files to include?

    Thanx

    Well, this depends on what you want to do.

    If you want a simple way to play a WAV file (it should be a WAV of < 1-2 MB, because this command waits until it can load the whole file into memory) just use the WinAPI PlaySound().

    I think this is defined in mmsystem.h

    For some info on parameters, and alternatives to this (somewhat primitive but functional) way of playing WAVs, check out:

    This guy has a lot of useful info on the various ways to do sound and music in Windows.
