Putting an audio in a C++ program

[franmaez_0716]

My professor told me to put an audio in my program but he did not taught me how to. please help me because i do not have any idea on how to do this thing. i know that you guys are experties so please help me.. tnx alot.. :)

Depending on your OS, you probably have a simple "play this audio file" system call available.

There are also a variety of third-party multimedia libraries that provide a more flexible audio API, for example, SDL.

If you have some time to play with it, you might also consider OpenAL.

..sorry but i can't get your point maybe because i'm just a beginner.. anyway.. what i want to know is that.. what code should i type to put a sound in my codes (simple c++ program).. tnx for the reply..

Are you running Windows, Mac, or Linux?

If Windows, are you using Visual Studio, NetBeans, Eclipse, Dev-C++ or Turbo C++?

[Ancient Dragon]

Here's a link for MS-Windows (and it won't matter which 32-bit compiler you use. It won't work with Turbo C or Turbo C++)

I hope this helped

[franmaez_0716]

Thank you for the link.. the samples are working but i used karlwakim's link for it allow mp3 files.. but i have 1 error..

c:\users\user\documents\kisses\cs102l\sramble rumble\scramble rumble.cpp(5) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'irrKlang.h': No such file or directory

the samples given is working but when i've already put the code in my program.. it does not work..
please help me to fix my problem..

by the way.. this is my code..

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<windows.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <irrKlang.h>

{
	// start the sound engine with default parameters
  ISoundEngine* engine = createIrrKlangDevice();

  if (!engine)
    return 0; // error starting up the engine
 
  // play some sound stream, looped
  engine->play2D("somefile.mp3", true);

  char i = 0;
  std::cin >> i; // wait for user to press some key

  engine->drop(); // delete engine

thanks for the help..

[zeroliken]

did you download the appropriate header files?

[Kanoisa]

#include <irrKlang.h> should be #include "irrKlang.h" ??

if the file lives in your project not in CC it should almost definatley be in quotes instead of angle brackets.

[franmaez_0716]

yes i've downloaded the irrklang header files and the samples are working.. i've also tried replacing brackets with quotes but still the error is the same..

[Kanoisa]

So then are the headders where your project expects them?

The files being on your computer is not enough, the compiler and linker need to know where the files live, the easy test is to first try copying the headder file into your projects directory in the same folder as main.cpp, Then the compiler should find it for sure.

..thank you for helping me..:)
