Beep

[The Mexican]

Hi there, I'm having a problem with the Beep() command. When I run the program below, no sounds comes out :(

#include<iostream>
#include<windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
Beep(523,500);
Beep(587,500);
Beep(659,500);
Beep(698,500);
Beep(784,500);
Beep(876,500);
Beep(982,500);
Beep(1050,500);
system("pause");
return 0;
}

I'm using Dev-C++ (by Bloodshed) and run Windows Vista. What am I doing wrong?

"Eventually because of the lack of hardware to communicate with, support for Beep was dropped in Windows Vista and Windows XP 64-Bit Edition."

Try std::cout<<'\a';

std::cout<<'\a'; doesn't work either. :(

Dev-C++ ? Thanks years old( Which probably means the headers and compiler are out-of-date ). Upgrade to Visual C++ or Code::Blocks.

Although I agree with the fact that Dev-C++ is outdated, this isn't caused by it. As Intrexa already said, it's because the functionality was simply removed.

Thanks for the help guys, and I've installed Visual C++ but unfortunately that didn't seem to help with the Beep() problem either. I think I'll just use PlaySound() instead.
