How to Console.Beep like Microsoft does
We already know that Console.Beep(Frequency, Duration) is the way to do that.
A) I want to use mainboard piezoelectric buzzer (sounds more intense and alert) and in this case if your device does not have any built-in sound card, audio will not feed through in its stereo out. Comes out to buzzer instead. I ONLY want to use it directy.
B) I want to perform a sort of meaningful sounds (like removable devices insert/eject high-low and low-high pitch sequences or multiple shift pressing) but when we execute
Code:
Console.Beep(1800, 50)
Console.Beep(2200, 50)
right after eachother, a mute (or a distinguishable pause) will be heard.
1) Is it because external audio actuator?
2) Does piezo follow the way I want?
3) How othe application authors come up?
4) What is the shortest delay (2nd part of argument)? I experimentally achieved between 20 to 30 ms as my shortest possible duration. their shortest (1 and 1 ms) only performs 2 ticks.

Would be the nearest unresolved thread. It was started back in 2005 so I suppose eighter Microsoft do not want us to know how is going on OR it is happening in a low-level based thing that is a nightmare to us. (All hypothetically)
Re: How to Console.Beep like Microsoft does
Hi Puka.
Using Console.beep here are the frequencies for notes:

I have a class can't recall from where that the notes are in decimal so I'm not sure how well will they apply in int32 but here goes:

Re: How to Console.Beep like Microsoft does
wow, that was a huge amount of work for music enthusiasts but I'm afraid that not what I was looking for. Visited the links. Did you read numbered items on starting thread?
You sincerely, Pourkascheff. (Not Puka, no idea why you people (specially greeks) call me this, here...)

Re: How to Console.Beep like Microsoft does
I will consider this as final answer. Thanks.
I used to work with P.W. modulation for motors speed control and changing DC average values, not audio.
It seems you are now able to generate different shapes of waveforms then. Even you can implement a sort of synthesizer. Going to try this and share the results.
