Sound

[xabnu]

Could someone give me a point in the right direction on how to communicate with soundcards? I can create .wav files, but don't know how to send them to the sound card. I'd really prefer something faster anyway, idk if you can send packets of data without it being enclosed in a file?

Are you using MFC?

The PlaySound function plays a sound specified by the given file name, resource, or system event. (A system event may be associated with a sound in the registry or in the WIN.INI file.)

or look into DirectX audio (DirectSound?)
