#include dsound.h
Author
Hey,
I have finally decided to add an audio aspect to my game engine using DirectSound. However, when I include dsound.h, I get a bunch of compile errors that are found in dsound.h
Errors:

I don't know why I am getting these, I have included dsound.h after windows.h, I have linked dsound.lib, and dxguid.lib, I have googled to try and find a solution, but all I found was another thread on this site from 2001 with the exact same problem, but no replies as to how to fix it. I'm guessing that it is a simple matter of changing one little thing, (please forgive my ignorance if it is) but I haven't found it yet, and I'm losing some steam after two days of trying.
Thanks in advance, ask if you need more information.

There's this little gem in the SDK samples:
At a guess you need the two "mm" headers to define some types/aliases that dsound.h relies on.

Don't forget to add winmm.lib to your project also. You shouldn't have to include the mm*.h if you didn't define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN. If you have that defined, comment it out and see what happens.

Hey,
Thanks for the help, including the two mm*.h files solved the problem, thank you Jack, and I did have WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN defined, I'll comment that out and see if I need the mm files still.
Thank you so much,
Svenjamin

I'd rather leave the WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN and include the mm headers. Otherwise you are including tons of crap in addition to the mm headers.
