[Kalpesh Modha]

Hello

I am writing a program that makes and window popup and plays a sound
repeatedly until the user does soemthing. however directsound for some
reason does not play the sound if is does not have focus.

Does anyone know how to get round this ?

thanks in advance.

What is your cooperation level ? i.e. IDirectSound8::SetCooperativeLevel. If
it's DSSCL_NORMAL, it should be working unless another app gets an exclusive
handle on your sound device while you don't have the focus.

hello.

it's
CooperativeLevel.Normal

Basically it's the playsound(C#) program that I am testing with which comes
with the DX SDK. If you click else where the sound stops playing.
