Question

I m a student of Computer Science  I have a final semester Project to develop a short game in graphics along with the sound

If you want to play the   mp3 or   wav file  i think the easiest way would be to use SFML

http   sfml-dev org documentation 2 0 classsf 1 1Music php  SFML does not have mp3 support as another has suggested   What I always do is use Audacity and make all my music into ogg  and leave all my sound effects as wav   Loading and playing a wav is simple  crude example    http   www sfml-dev org tutorials 2 0 audio-sounds php   include  lt SFML Audio hpp gt      sf  SoundBuffer buffer  if   buffer loadFromFile  sound wav         return -1    sf  Sound sound  sound setBuffer buffer   sound play      Streaming an ogg music file is also simple    include  lt SFML Audio hpp gt      sf  Music music  if   music openFromFile  music ogg        return -1     error music play

Try with simple c   code in VC      include  lt windows h gt   include  lt iostream gt   pragma comment lib   winmm lib    int main int argc  char  argv      std  cout lt  lt  Sound playing    enjoy          PlaySound  C   temp  sound test wav   NULL  SND FILENAME     SND FILENAME or SND LOOP return 0

I would use FMOD to do this for your game  It has the ability to play any file mostly for sounds and is pretty simple to implement in C    using FMOD and Dir3ect X together can be powerful and not that difficult  If you are familiar with Singleton classes I would create a Singleton class of a sound manager in your win main cpp and then have access to it whenever to load or play new music or sound effects  here s an audio manager example       pragma once   ifndef H AUDIOMANAGER  define H AUDIOMANAGER   include  lt string gt   include  lt Windows h gt   include  fmod h   include  fmod hpp   include  fmod codec h   include  fmod dsp h   include  fmod errors h   include  fmod memoryinfo h   include  fmod output h   class AudioManager   public         Destructor      AudioManager void        void Initialize void       Initialize sound components     void Shutdown void         Shutdown sound components         Singleton instance manip methods     static AudioManager  GetInstance void       static void DestroyInstance void           Accessors     FMOD  System  GetSystem void           return soundSystem           Sound playing     void Play FMOD  Sound  sound       Play a sound music with default channel     void PlaySFX FMOD  Sound  sound        Play a sound effect with custom channel     void PlayBGM FMOD  Sound  sound        Play background music with custom channel         Volume adjustment methods     void SetBGMVolume float volume       void SetSFXVolume float volume    private      static AudioManager  instance      Singleton instance     AudioManager void       Constructor      FMOD  System  soundSystem      Sound system object     FMOD RESULT result      FMOD  Channel  bgmChannel      Channel for background music     static const int numSfxChannels   4      FMOD  Channel  sfxChannels numSfxChannels      Channel for sound effects      endif

Use a library to  a  read the sound file s  and  b  play them back   I d recommend trying both yourself at some point in your spare time  but      Perhaps   nix     http   www underbit com products mad  https   www xiph org ao  http   libsdl org    Windows  DirectX

First of all  write the following code    include  lt Mmsystem h gt   include  lt mciapi h gt    these two headers are already included in the  lt Windows h gt  header  pragma comment lib   Winmm lib     To open   mp3   mciSendString  open     mp3   type mpegvideo alias mp3   NULL  0  NULL     To play   mp3   mciSendString  play mp3   NULL  0  NULL     To play and wait until the   mp3 has finished playing   mciSendString  play mp3 wait   NULL  0  NULL     To replay  play again from start  the   mp3   mciSendString  play mp3 from 0   NULL  0  NULL     To replay and wait until the   mp3 has finished playing   mciSendString  play mp3 from 0 wait   NULL  0  NULL     To play the   mp3 and replay it every time it ends like a loop   mciSendString  play mp3 repeat   NULL  0  NULL     If you want to do something when the   mp3 has finished playing  then you need to RegisterClassEx by the WNDCLASSEX structure  CreateWindowEx and process it s messages with the GetMessage  TranslateMessage and DispatchMessage functions in a while loop and call   mciSendString  play mp3 notify   NULL  0  hwnd     hwnd is an handle to the window returned from CreateWindowEx  If this doesn t work  then replace the hwnd with MAKELONG hwnd  0     In the window procedure  add the case MM MCINOTIFY  The code in there will be executed when the mp3 has finished playing   But if you program a Console Application and you don t deal with windows  then you can CreateThread in suspend state by specifying the CREATE SUSPENDED flag in the dwCreationFlags parameter and keep the return value in a static variable and call it whatever you want  For instance  I call it mp3  The type of this static variable is HANDLE of course   Here is the ThreadProc for the lpStartAddress of this thread   DWORD WINAPI MP3Proc  In  LPVOID lpParameter    lpParameter can be a pointer to a structure that store data that you cannot access outside of this function  You can prepare this structure before  CreateThread  and give it s address in the  lpParameter        Data  data    Data  lpParameter    If you call this structure Data  but you can call it whatever you want      while  true                mciSendString  play mp3 from 0 wait   NULL  0  NULL             Do here what you want to do when the mp3 playback is over         SuspendThread GetCurrentThread       or the handle of this thread that you keep in a static variable instead           All what you have to do now is to ResumeThread mp3   every time you want to replay your mp3 and something will happen every time it finishes   You can  define play my mp3 ResumeThread mp3   to make your code more readable   Of course you can remove the while  true   SuspendThread and the from 0 codes  if you want to play your mp3 file only once and do whatever you want when it is over   If you only remove the SuspendThread call  then the sound will play over and over again and do something whenever it is over  This is equivalent to   mciSendString  play mp3 repeat notify   NULL  0  hwnd     or MAKELONG hwnd  0  instead   in windows   To pause the   mp3 in middle   mciSendString  pause mp3   NULL  0  NULL     and to resume it   mciSendString  resume mp3   NULL  0  NULL     To stop it in middle   mciSendString  stop mp3   NULL  0  NULL     Note that you cannot resume a sound that has been stopped  but only paused  but you can replay it by carrying out the play command  When you re done playing this   mp3  don t forget to   mciSendString  close mp3   NULL  0  NULL     All these actions also apply to  work with  wave files too  but with wave files  you can use  waveaudio  instead of  mpegvideo   Also you can just play them directly without opening them   PlaySound    wav   GetModuleHandle NULL   SND FILENAME     If you don t want to specify an handle to a module   sndPlaySound    wav   SND FILENAME     If you don t want to wait until the playback is over   PlaySound    wav   GetModuleHandle NULL   SND FILENAME   SND ASYNC     or sndPlaySound    wav   SND FILENAME   SND ASYNC     To play the wave file over and over again   PlaySound    wav   GetModuleHandle NULL   SND FILENAME   SND ASYNC   SND LOOP     or sndPlaySound    wav   SND FILENAME   SND ASYNC   SND LOOP     Note that you must specify both the SND ASYNC and SND LOOP flags  because you never going to wait until a sound  that repeats itself countless times  is over   Also you can fopen the wave file and copy all it s bytes to a buffer  an enormous huge  very big  array of bytes  with the fread function and then   PlaySound buffer  GetModuleHandle NULL   SND MEMORY     or PlaySound buffer  GetModuleHandle NULL   SND MEMORY   SND ASYNC     or PlaySound buffer  GetModuleHandle NULL   SND MEMORY   SND ASYNC   SND LOOP     or sndPlaySound buffer  SND MEMORY     or sndPlaySound buffer  SND MEMORY   SND ASYNC     or sndPlaySound buffer  SND MEMORY   SND ASYNC   SND LOOP     Either OpenFile or CreateFile or CreateFile2 and either ReadFile or ReadFileEx functions can be used instead of fopen and fread functions   Hope this fully answers perfectly your question
