Are there any programs that allow you to place different tones through your pc speaker? Or play a midi file or anything? :p
 
Dunno if there are any for Windows. There were DOS programs that did that. The PC speaker interface isn't really suited for that sort of thing, but through tightly controlling the timings you could do digital output and some module players knew how to do it, though it was more novelty than anything else.

I haven't seen anything like that for Windows and I imagine there isn't a lot of interest since it is almost impossible to get a computer without a soundcard. After all, why would you want to use up a ton of resources doing poor quality audio through an interface not made for it, when there are perfectly good DACs ready to go with easy to use APIs?
 
You can get a windows audio driver for the onboard speaker, I used it.years ago.
I'll see if I can track it down.
This was XP so not sure if a Vista version is needed.
