Sound Manager Routines

Playing Sound Resources

You can use the SysBeep procedure to play the system alert sound. Alert sounds are stored in the System file as format 1 'snd ' resources. You can use the SndPlay function to play the sounds that are stored in any 'snd ' resource, either format 1 or format 2.

The SysBeep and SndPlay routines are the highest-level sound routines that the Sound Manager provides. Depending on the needs of your application, you might be able to accomplish all desired sound-related activity simply by using SysBeep to produce the system alert sound or by using SndPlay to play other sounds that are stored as 'snd ' resources.
