Thread: C Sound codes

Hi. I'm new here, and I have been programming C for about a quarter of a year, but only just started again because of a long break.

Glad that's out of the way.

Does anyone know the correct hertz for all the musical notes?
In C for Dummies: Vol. 2 in the back it lists them but I am certain that the hertz number does not match the note listed. For an example of what I am talking about:

Middle G = 392 hertz.

Also do you know how to change the way the speaker in the PC beeps? Or how to make different noises with the PC or normal speakers.

A lot to ask, but you don't have to answer all of that if you are in a bad mood.

Playing sound through the sound card (or normal speakers as you call them) is OS dependent. Probably the easiest way to play sound in windows is using DirectSound which is part of DirectX. If you download the DirectX SDK, there are examples on how to do this.

The 'A' above middle C is 440 hz, this is standard concert pitch.

Google("musical note hertz conversion")

If you're not running Me, 98, or 95, an alternative to DirectSound is the Beep() function.
