[Qt-interest] How to make an alert sound?

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

I don't aware of such support in QT.
I have no idea how information about wav file to be played for the specific event is stored by Windows.
But you can use Windows API to do it:

Alex,

I understand playing a sound using QSound. I would like to play the
sounds that are configured to be played for specific events like an
exclamation, critical error, disallowed, new mail and so on. You can
find these settings under Control Panel > Sound > Sounds Tab in Windows
Vista (similar in previous versions). I am not looking for a way to play
a sound file directly but play the sound that has been configured to
play in windows (or linux if applicable). Other than fetching the sound
file set to be played for a particular event manually and playing that
sound, are there any easier ways.
