Hi David,

Thanks. I used the memoryIgnoreLeaksBegin()/MemoryIgnoreLeaksEnd() end around the call to the function, and that worked great.

You're welcome Wink

While I would love to use one without the memory leak, it is actually a standard dll that Microsoft created and can be used to play a .wav file. It was pointed out to them about the memory leak, but their response was it was designed that way.

And I don't currently have the knowledge on how to de-compile their dll and then recode it not to have the memory leak, no how to code the functions that their dll provides.

Well, what can you expect from M$... No need to decompile and fix their mess. You can try plugin/wav from bazaar, it has a metod PlayWav, which should work just fine for your purposes. It uses portaudio as a backend, so it is portable and platform independent.

And for others this has a working example of using a dll on windows. I couldn't get the example provided by U++ for doing dll function calls to work. But this simple code works great.

Anyway, wouldn't it be simpler to just #include <mmsystem.h> in your code and add winmm to the libraries in package organizer? But I'm no windows programmer, so if I'm talking nonsense here, just ignore it Wink

PS: Forgot to mention that you can have a look at SoundExample from bazaar to see more options how to handle sound in U++. It also contains an example using the mentioned PlayWav function...
