Create pc speaker beep wav file
Hi
At one computer I don't have speakers. The thing is then that I want the pc speaker to play a beep or something when I for instance receive mail. How can this be achieved? Will this be controlled by the .wav file itself, or are there any settings which control on what device the sound is played? If the first is the case, where can I get a .wav file that plays pc speaker beeps? -- Espen |

Create pc speaker beep wav file
you can do this if you are using Outlook or Outlook Express. Go to the
Options and put a check box next to "Play sound when new messages arrive" in the appropriate tab. For the sound go to Sound in Control Panel and play with the settings "Espen" wrote in message ...

Create pc speaker beep wav file
Yes, exactly, and one can choose a wav-file to be played when new mail
arrives. The thing is that I don't know about any wav-file which plays a pc-speaker beep. Do you? -- Espen "ME" wrote in message ... you can do this if you are using Outlook or Outlook Express.

Create pc speaker beep wav file
If you don't have external sound speakers connected to a sound card, its a
"mute" point (pun intended) - as the PC Speaker on the motherboard is controlled via hardware interrupts sent from the computer BIOS/CMOS - so what you need is a piece of software which intercepts sound interrupts to a non-existent sound card and transforms them into interrupts into the BIOS, so the BIOS can send the beep-signals to the internal motherboard speaker. In the younger years of PC's, just when multimedia was making its debuted, there were such utilities as the multimedia sound card/speakers were an expensive add-on - go a "Google" search, there may be an old website or bbs site that still has one. Or if you want a challenge, find some old DOS program code for say DOS 5.0 or 6.22 in Qbasic possibly and port the code to VB or VC, but be careful, application hardware interrupts are not allowed in WinNT, 2k or XP - all hardware interrupts must go thru the appropriate WinAPI and let WinNT, 2k or XP control the interrupt. -- Star Fleet Admiral Q @ your service!
