Please don't post pictures of text, or links to pictures of text - post the text. (I'm constantly amazed that, these days, posting screenshots to an image-sharing site is apparently a more basic skill than copy and paste.) – molbdnilo Sep 02 '21 at 11:19

As for your problem, have you read [the `PlaySound` documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dd743680(v=vs.85))? Besides telling you that the function is deprecated, it does tell you which library you need to link with. – Some programmer dude Sep 02 '21 at 11:20

@Someprogrammerdude `PlaySound()` is old, but it is not deprecated, and nowhere in that documentation does it say that it is. – Remy Lebeau Sep 02 '21 at 14:19
@som No longer regularly updating API documentation is distinctly different from deprecating an API. You apparently mistook the former for the latter. – IInspectable Sep 02 '21 at 14:52
I'm sorry about the confusion, I seems to have confused that API with other (now deprecated and obsolete) API's. However, the solution is in the documentation. – Some programmer dude Sep 02 '21 at 15:31
