I have a windowed project that plays audio. However, DBPro won't let the sounds work unless the window is the selected one. I don't want to have to keep the window on top, so what can I do?

There must be some Directsound hack/c++ code I can use but I can't figure it out... MSDN/google/these forums have not helped.

maybe use PlaySoundA in the win32api instead of using DBP's hook into the sound system. Im not sure but its worth a try.
