Thanks

Did you read the manual? Check out the 'Sound init routines' and 'MIDI music routines' section.

I normally wouldn't do this, but, I'm in a good mood.

/* Set up the sound to use digital SFX autodetected, MIDI autodetected, and the 0 is just for compatablilty issues. */
install_sound(DIGI_AUTODETECT,MIDI_AUTODETECT,0);
...
/* Play sound effect, first argument is the sound file to play, and the second determines if it is looping */
 PlaySound(SOUND_EFFECT, false);
/* Play MIDI, first argument is the MIDI file to play, and second detemines if it loops */
 PlayMIDI(MIDI_MUSIC, true);
