Hey guys,
Im using the PlaySound() function for the first time and am getting this error:

"undefned reference to 'PlaySoundA@12'"

I read somewhere that I needed to link a file or something but have no idea how!

All help appreciated.
Thanx

PlaySound requires the Winmm.lib library.

#pragma comment(lib,"Winmm.lib")

I assume you're using Visual C++?
I have an example of a command line
program that uses PlaySound().
