Pc speaker... into regular speaker?

[Blast3r]

Quite a while ago I came across a program to turn your pc speaker into a working sound speaker, not just beeps. I thought I would never have a use for such a program. I now have a 75mhz laptop that only has a pc speaker and no sound outputs. Does anyone know how to change this? Btw its a toshiba satellite 100cs

Im not sure what you mean by working sound speaker. Do you mean the laptop speakers only make beeping noises? i.e does not have a sound card?

I think he's talking about pulse-width-modulation, explained at http://www.oldskool.org/sound/pc (scroll down to "the best sound you've never head). As for a program that allows you to use that normally, I don't know.

Yea the laptop only makes beeps, no sound card.

Not sure if this will help, but there was a little program called "speak.exe" back in the Win3.1 days that would allow desktop sounds (and pretty much any .wav files) to be played over the PC speaker.

Hit Google with that info and you might luck into a modern version...

You can try getting a PCMCIA sound card and plug a set of external speakers.

I don't know whether the card will control the laptop speaker as well
