We have sound

Posted by SpeedRun, in MPong 16 January 2013 · 274 views

I have written a wrapper around DirectSound to take care of the sound.
I have also background music which was taken from http://www.nosoapradio.us/
I am currently working on a Options screen which allows to disable/enable the SFX and music channels and also set the respective volumes.

Around DirectSound?

It was my understanding the recommended API was XAudio since WinXP 2.

Around DirectSound?
It was my understanding the recommended API was XAudio since WinXP 2.

I wasnt aware that XAudio could be used for PC's. I was under the impression that XAudio was mainly for XBOX development. Somehow, I missed that XAudio2 replaced DirectSound and XAudio.

Thanks for tip. I will add replacing DirectSound with XAudio2 to my TODO list. Atleast, I wont have to change much except for the API calls
