March 24, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
A minimal example that plays a 440Hz sine wave using AMY on Windows.
Prerequisites
Install Visual Studio Build Tools 2022 (free) with the C++ workload:
winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.BuildTools --override "--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --includeRecommended --passive"
Or download from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ and select Desktop development with C++.
Build
Open a Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 (search for it in the Start menu), then:
cd path\to\amy\windows
build.bat
This produces amy_sine.exe.
Run
amy_sine.exe
You should hear a 440Hz sine wave. Press Enter to quit.
CMake (alternative)
If you have CMake installed, you can also build from a Developer Command Prompt:
cd windows
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release
