Producing Sound wit C++

[GBJim]

I am programming a simple piano program that I input the duration and frequency of a note into an array of integers for examination. I want to play that 'TUNE' to verify that there are no errors in the melody before running the main examination function of the program.

If anyone could help me with a snippet of code top produce the sound on the system speaker (pitch) for a specific amount of time (duration), I would be most grateful.

I'm using Dev C++ in a windows XP platform, but would appreciate generic code that can be used on any platform.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

I don't know that things can be portable but if you can get your note in a .wav file you can call PlaySound() with the file name.

Jim,
In order to play a sound on your internal speak running windows you can do the following:
#include <windows.h>// which is the WinApi header file
int main ( ){
Beep(x,y);
return 0;}

where x = hertz and y = time duration in milliseconds.

Im not sure if windows.h is on all systems, i use dev-c++ and know that the header can be found.
Hope this helps,
