Thread: Help!!!(Again)

Could someone explain why I am getting these errors:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Hello world" << endl;
	system ("PAUSE");
	PlaySound("music30.wav.wav", NULL, SND_ASYNC | SND_FILENAME);
	system ("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

...Did not work

Forgot to post new code

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Hello world" << endl;
	system ("PAUSE");
	PlaySound(L"music30.wav.wav", NULL, SND_ASYNC | SND_FILENAME);
	system ("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

Thanks Again

Anyone know what is going on???

>> sound test.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__PlaySoundW@12 referenced in function _main

This means you need to link to the library that implements PlaySound.

Link against Winmm.lib (found in your linker options).

Here is a code update

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <windows.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	PlaySound((LPCWSTR) "C:\\music30.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC);
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

I used this same code in Visual Studio 2005 Pro (The program I want to use) and in Dev C++ (Bloodshed). In Bloodshed I hear the correct music, but in visual i only hear a single beep noise. Please help. Thanks

It works now. Thank you very much
