Thread: Sounds in C?

I saw a code in the net yesterday about playing sounds, and I managed to play it too, using a dev-c++ project file. What I'm now trying to do is put it in my game, though I get compiler errors when I compile it because we have a custom header file named mp.h that contains most of the functions that we need in our game. Here's the code I tried.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


using namespace std;

int main()
{ int x = 1;
   while (x == 1)
    PlaySound("gameover.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME);

    system("PAUSE");    
    return 0;
}

I saw another code in the internet about mmstream.h and I managed to get pass the mp.h compiler error, but it gets a linker error saying "Undefined reference to PlaySoundA@12". Here is the revised code.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <mp.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")

int main()
{ int x = 1;
   while (x == 1)
    PlaySound("gameover.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME);

    system("PAUSE");    
    return 0;
}

Any information helpful would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Is there any way I can do it without making the source code a project? I haven't asked our professor if we can submit our project code in .dev format, but our specifications say that we only submit the .c code. I tried recompiling the .c file from the project but it didn't work.

Thanks a bunch!

how do I play two wav files at the same time? putting |SND_NOSTOP at the first wav file doesn't work. The only nearest thing I got to was playing the two sounds, but one had to stop to let the other one play, and when it finished, the song restarted. I need to let one be a background music while the other one handles the effects.

Already there, but not working. Also, how do you store the wave file into the application so that I can play the sounds without needing the wave files? I'm using a Dev-C++ compiler.
