Dear
     Which lib function need to be called?
The function is PlaySound implemented in winmm.dll which can be found in system directory. Corresponding lib file is winmm.lib that comes with windows SDK or VC++ or BC++.Header file needed is mmsystem.h which also comes with Windows SDK, VC++ or BC++ and can be found in include directory.
Recording sounds.

DWORD dwMilliSeconds is parameter.
Does that parameter need to assign a value
What's the deference between mci function and wavein function?
