Hi,

I need a very simple way to play a sound in C++
when the program starts, the sound should just start playing and repeat untill the program is terminated..

How can I do this, easly?

There is no such command in the C or C++ language.

But you can use Win32 function PlaySound() for .wav files.

Thanx I was wondering if there was a function in wich u input notes (although its obviously easier to use other software and make a .wav outta that).

Beside the escape sequence \a in your code to make a bell sound, is there any other to include a quick sound in your program?

The closest thing I know of to BASIC's play function would be to use the Beep(freq, durration) form the windows API... A = 440 hz. and so you would make a simple text parser that will read in a string an convert it to Beeps.

Haha, thank you so much! I've spent an entire thread trying to get the play sound and I finally got it! Thank you so much!

If it helps, in the Playsound(), the .wav must be short it seems.
