    Hi!
    How hard is DirectSound to learn for someone who has never worked with
    DirectSomething in his life?I need to play lots of sounds at once and
    music in background so I'm interested in learning how to use DirectSound.
    Or is there more simple way to do what I need?
    And please give me some URLs for learning DirectX/DirectSound.

    Thanks for any answer

    To do this, you could use DirectX's DirectAudio package that comes with DX 8.1. The tutorial associated with DX is very helpful.
    "Can't" and "shouldn't" are two totally separate things.

    All questions should be answered. All answers should be true. That is why I post.

    DirectSound is very simple (comparing to other DirectSomthing).
    Try this great site: www.directx4vb.com
    It helped me a lot.

    I feel that the DirectAudio (DirectSound + DirectMusic) is the easiest to learn of all the parts of DirectX.

    If you're looking to play compressed audio, you're out of luck. Try fmod for an alternative (and better!)
