The same way as you may develop a graphical Win32 application with Dev-C++ just using GDI calls instead of DirectX or other libraries/engines, is it possible to play a wav sound file avoiding DirectSound/DirectX? Thanks in advance!

How about PlaySound? You'll need to link against winmm.lib, but that should be it.

Step 1: Stop using Dev-C++.
Step 2: PlaySound works just fine for simple tasks.

Thanks everybody. Actually I am thinking in getting into Visual Studio very soon and left Dev-C++.

Regards.

Good choice. You'll see that Dev C++ is really more of a toy once you start coding and building programs with Visual Studio.
