Using the internal speaker...

I know it's not really important, but I always thought that the internal speaker was neat. Never
knew much about it, except that it's there. I only actually noticed it once, and that was when it was playing the music for Maniac Mansion (It was in the options, not sure how i even got the game to work though...)

Is there a program or utility that i can use to manipulate my internal speaker for playing something?
 
Microsoft offers a driver here. You can use the speaker like any soundcard, in most of cases, but it sounds horrible....hahaha. :D However, I'm affraid of it does not run in Win2K/XP.

The old MS Basic interpreter, GWBASIC, comes with an instruction (PLAY) that allows you to send monophonic tunes to the speaker. I remember to have heard cool (and complex) melodies created this way, long time ago. Again, not sure if the program could run in Win2K/XP.
 
Doesn't run, eh?

Well... i know it works...or maybe it was the modem, if that is even possible. But i heard Maniac Mansion from inside my case!
 
Every old DOS (or pre-Win32) game that can run in your PC should make sound the speaker as well. Those games won't use a Windows driver. :rolleyes: They uses some old method of PIT and PPI reprogramming to send variable frecuencies to the speaker. I'm not sure about what you plan to do, anyways. :)
 
Well, nothing really, but i thought it would be neat to make a security alarm from inside my case when someone typed the wrong password.
 
Well, if you're a programmer (you need that if you want to make that alarm), use the Beep function that lies in KERNEL.DLL. It's easy. ;)
