PlaySound ()....No Sound

[Mtlca401]

I am reading this book right now, I am a beginner to C++

I am trying to get this .wav file to play with the code that was in the book, but it doesn't work. I did everything said in the book.

This is the code he has:

case WM_CREATE:
PlaySound(TEXT("HelloWin.wav&quot, NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC);
return 0;

HelloWin.wav is in the same folder as the project file. The book also said to put WINMM.LIB in the Object/Library Modules under project->settings..

Thanks

Anybody! Still can't figure it out.

I really dont know, I got it to work a long time ago but wasnt satisfied(it lags the program a bit every time the sound is played) so I switched to using DirectX sound. Try this tho:

PlaySound("C:\\FullPath\\HelloWin.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC);

See if that works.
