Sound through speakers in QB

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Ok...I looked at that, I couldn't run it cause FB couldn't find fmod.dll, the BI file is ok and I included it. What should I do?

[Z!re]

Download the DLL...

freebasic.net->about->libraries

And click the link.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Ok. Where do I put it?

[Z!re]

Either: C:\Windiws\System32 (and register it under winxp, i dunno how you do that though, or what it is, i've just heard people say it)

Or in the same folder as your EXE requiring the DLL.

Pyrokid:
All answer forgot to mention one thing:
If you are working in bare DOS you must have an old! Soundblaster 16 card or something with a fully compatible API.

If you are in windows XP you should VDMSound, it replaces the standard DOS box and makes any soundcard appear to DOS as a SB16.

"Slave" libraries as DS4QB++ use the Windows services to do sound and don't require a given model of card.

Better switch to FB, it makes things easier....

I mentioned VDMSound... *looks back* once! DS4QB++ has problems with windows 2k and xp, i've found. If done right, it'll work better than anything, but unfortunately it usually makes my computer crash.

im not sure how to register it in xp, it may be the same, but in 9x you have to run the dll with a program called "regsvr32.exe", which is found in windows/system (maybe windows system32 in xp). you can do this either by dragging the .dll onto said exe, or by typing out a command in start>run


hope that helps a lil

but know that if youre gonna give the prog to someone who isnt very computer literate the best option is to include the dll in the .exe path...

If i worked a bit harder my page would offer a 100% QB source code (this means that it absolutely not requie any library, no ASM as well) to sound MIDI music through the FM in real time. I originally wrote it on my 25MHz 4.86

(Possibly it will be up within a few weeks)

Of course it is better to switch FreeBasic now, but if somebody likes retro!

In fact you don't need to register a plain DLL to use it. Simply it must be on the path (exe's dire or system32).

That registering thing is only for DLL that contain COM objects, or for copy-protected libraries...

If anybody is interested it can be downloaded from now from my page

(Click on the logo, then RC Software, then you will see it in the top program list. Hope i did not mess up anything)
