good luck with that. see midi out of QB has always been a real bitch. you best but would be DS4QB 1,2, or ++ it use a slave program to run your sound files and music files for you and commucates with QB via a swap file or some other tricks like the clipboard.

should be able to find DS4QB in pete's archive somewhere

but really if you want easy then just use freebasic and Fmod or Bass Lib's
its like 30 lines of code to get something playing.
