Delphi DirectSound v1.3 for Delphi 3 and higher
Developed by Carlos Barbosa

Delphi DirectSound package does the encapsulation of the
DirectSound functionality through Delphi objects and the translation of all the
DirectSound functions and structures to Delphi.
This version covers versions 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of DirectX.
I used Erik Unger's DirectX API conversion to Delphi with some minor adaptations. You may download his latest DirectX units here.
Add the '\Lib' path (being x your delphi version),
in the Environment Options option of the Tools menu, to the Library Path option
in the Library page.
The help is available in HTML format at the \help directory. Use default.htm as the starting page.
The help is best viewed with Internet
Explorer 4.0.
The pages in the \help\microsoft directory were created using the Microsoft
HTML Help Workshop built-in converter of WinHelp to HTML format. I converted
the directx.hlp file, that is part of the DirectX 5 SDK, and took
off all pages not concerning the DirectSound component, so that I could make
this as small as possible.
A Frequently Asked Questions section is available on-line in my Homepage.
