I am programming a game and I want to incorporate sounds to it. How do I do that?

If your files are wav/midi then u can use api's like PlaySound/mci* otherwise u can use a library like fmod or bass for playing most of the formats.

I recommend avoiding midi and MCI in games.
Use PlaySound, but having pre-loaded the .wav files into memory. (use SND_MEMORY and SND_ASYNC)

For simple Beeps you can do an invoke Beep,100,500
passing it tone and duration.

There is an intresting thread on going crazy with Beep here:

For better quality sound, play a Wav file like using "invoke PlayWav, addr logonwav" using this procedure:

PlayWav proc lpfilename
;
; Check if a WAV file exits, and if it does, play it

      invoke GetFileAttributes, lpfilename
      inc eax           ; Check that EAX!=-1
      jz NoPlay
      Invoke PlaySound, lpfilename, NULL, SND_FILENAME or SND_ASYNC
NoPlay:
      ret
PlayWav endp
