Beep() alternative in Windows Store App

Question

Hi,

In win32 or Desktop apps, I can play a System Sound using MessageBeep() function. How do I play a system sound in Windows Store app using XAML/C++?

Answer 1

You can play a sound with a MediaElement or with the XAudio API. There is no concept of a system sound: you'll need to define your own beep.

Answer 2

So I will just have to use MediaElement to play these system sounds: C:\Windows\Media. Thanks.
