How you do that depends upon if it is an external *.wav file or one you have
built into your program as a resource.


If you want to play the sound contained in an external file, FILENAME.WAV

PlaySound("filename.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME);


If you want to play a sound that you have built into your program as a
resource.

Put this declaration at the top of your source file to tell it of this
variable which was created by the compiler's startup code.

  -----------------
  extern HINSTANCE _hInstance;
  -----------------

Create a resource file, we'll call it SOUND.RC, containing this and add that
file name to the project.
  -----------------
  #include "sound.rh"

  BIG_SOUND WAVE "filename.wav"
  -----------------


You have created a header file named SOUND.RH containing this
  -----------------
  #define BIG_SOUND 1 /* or whatever number you want to give it */
  -----------------

Your source file should include SOUND.RH so that it knows of the #define for
BIG_SOUND

You can then give this command to play the wav file you have built into your
program.

  -----------------
  PlaySound(MAKEINTRESOURCE(BIG_SOUND),
     _hInstance, SND_RESOURCE);

  -----------------

For more things you can do with PlaySound, look in the compiler-supplied
help on Windows.
