I'm trying to get some sound going besides "/a", and my searching has led me to the beep command in windows.h.
What am I doing wrong here?
I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm a real n00b and barely know what I'm doing - thanks for the help.Code:#include <windows.h> int main() { beep(440, 100); return 0; }

you have to remember c++
is case sensitive try Beep();
Hey, that was it, thanks!
Here's some cheezy sounding Beethoven:
Code:#include <windows.h> int main() { Beep(1568, 200); Beep(1568, 200); Beep(1568, 200); Beep(1245, 1000); Beep(1397, 200); Beep(1397, 200); Beep(1397, 200); Beep(1175, 1000); return 0; }

Beep() is a screwy function with a lot of "ifs"...
I think it works like this...
If you have Windows NT, 2000, or XP, it will work as expected, playing the frequency & duration through the computer's internal speaker.
If you don't have a soundcard, and you have Windows ME, 98, or 95, it will ignore the frequency & duration paramaters, and play a beep through the internal speaker.
If you have a soundcard and Windows ME, 98, or 95, it plays the Windows default sound through the external speakers.
