hi any version of the directx sdk will be suitable for u to be used for sound u will find the samples after installing the directx for example in this path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (February 2005)\Samples\Managed\DirectSound best wishes

I did that about 2-3 months ago. But which version do i do? There are so many options. After that, where are the samples you are talking about? (I mean which folder?) And wat about the different versions of it(I'm sorry i'm repeating myself), like with the update thing or without, and with the Xtras or without(Xtras are the Direct 3D n all.I dunno if Direct Sound is with dat or with the package only). I appreciate your reply. Thanx.
