Waveform-Audio Files

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, most waveform-audio files use the .WAV filename extension.

The following statement plays the C:\SOUNDS\BELLS.WAV file:

PlaySound("C:\\SOUNDS\\BELLS.WAV", NULL, SND_SYNC);

If the specified file does not exist, or if the file does not fit into the available memory, PlaySound plays the default system sound. If no default system sound has been defined, PlaySound fails without producing any sound. If you do not want the default system sound to play, specify the SND_NODEFAULT flag, as shown in the following example:

PlaySound("C:\\SOUNDS\\BELLS.WAV", NULL, SND_SYNC | SND_NODEFAULT);
