Sound Blaster and C

[Pete B]

Hi there!

I've been coding in C/C++ for about 5 months now, and
I seem to be doing all right. I'm working on a project right now
which works with SVGA 640x480x256 graphics and mouse support, and
I'd like to include sound. However, I have absolutly no clue about
what to do.

I have found a list of interrupts for Sound Blaster (which is
what I want, even though I hear it's a real pain to code sound with
SB in C) but it hasn't helped. I know where to send the notes to,
but not where to get them from.

If someone could give me, or tell me of a site (FTP, WWW)
that carries include files, librairies, or even just some advive
that a beginner could use, I'd be very grateful. I found a reference
to documentation and sample code on a GOPHER site, but it seems to be
down at the moment.

I was hoping to be able to read the sounds from a .WAV file,
but anything such as a .VOC, .MID, .MOD, .RAW, etc... would be fine too.

Thanks for any help you could give me,
PETE

A simple Wav interface for sounbaster compatables

Why don't you go and check the answers that Mart got when he asked this
question verbatim back in 1995. Then go away.
