<div>
 __imp__PlaySoundA is in the library winmm.lib. &nbsp;It appears you aren't linking to it.<br />
<br />
Are you generating a build log file (.plg)? &nbsp;From Tools | Options | Build, check &quot;write build file&quot; and then after attempting the build, look at it. &nbsp;Is there a line similar to this?<br />
<br />
Creating command line &quot;link.exe winmm.lib [other options deleted]&quot;<br />

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
