Depending on your OS, you probably have a simple "play this audio file" system call available.

There are also a variety of third-party multimedia libraries that provide a more flexible audio API, for example, SDL.

If you have some time to play with it, you might also consider OpenAL.

Are you running Windows, Mac, or Linux?

If Windows, are you using Visual Studio, NetBeans, Eclipse, Dev-C++ or Turbo C++?

Here's a link for MS-Windows (and it won't matter which 32-bit compiler you use. It won't work with Turbo C or Turbo C++)

#include <irrKlang.h> should be #include "irrKlang.h" ??

if the file lives in your project not in CC it should almost definatley be in quotes instead of angle brackets.

So then are the headders where your project expects them?

The files being on your computer is not enough, the compiler and linker need to know where the files live, the easy test is to first try copying the headder file into your projects directory in the same folder as main.cpp, Then the compiler should find it for sure.
