When entering with the command ls -l /bin/sh.exe, the appeared following:

And now? what Do I do? Does that mean something? How I said, or the
command system() works, or I learn to activate speaker through cygwin.
In ultimo case, whether someone knows how to execute a .WAV or .MP3
and can explain am thankful.
You could try system("/bin/cat <file>.wav > /dev/dsp"). Note that this
does not handle mp3's just wav's.
(Note that /bin/cat will probably not work for a Turbo C program because
/bin/cat is a Posix path. You might need to do something more like
system("C:\Cygwin\bin\bash -c '/bin/cat <file>.wav > /dev/dsp'"). Also
note that you need to subsititute a real wav file name for <file>.wav).
