Are you making the system call as ("wavfile.wav"), you probably need to put
the name of a player
system("d:\winnt\system32\sndrec32.exe wavfile.wav")
Sound recorder doesn't automatically play the sound, so you need to find
another program (maybe winamp automatically plays, I can't try it out
because my Soundcard has problems .) Don't use media player, it's a huge
program and would take too long and too many resources to load each time a
page runs.
The best way, is to make this a shortcut and then you can set it to run
hidden or minimized, then place the path of the shortcut in the system()
call i.e. system("d:\playsound.lnk").
Yours
Mr. Adam ALLEN.
