[Dev-C++] can't make MessageBeep() beep!

[Jarren L. <vb...@gm...>]

OK, I feel really stupid right now. I'm making a console game(or
starting to), and I want the console to beep certain sounds to make a
sort of old-style song. I've been testing the messageBeep for hours
now, and I can't get it to work. Here's a sample of what I've written:

#include "windows.h"

int main()
    {
        MessageBeep(128);
        return 0;
    }

When I compile the program, it runs fine, but all it does is make a
"click" sound, not a beep. What's going on?

it hangs on what is set in system sound preferences under Win*
U should better use PlaySound() with *.wav files
to make use of computer speaker use asembler functions with interrupts.

I just added your little Beep program and left the system("PAUSE"); in same 
and got a nice kerjunk! sound!  I don't know what you were expecting with 
that little bit of code.
********************
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include "windows.h"
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    MessageBeep(128);

       // return 0;

    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
