System BEEP

[dimava]

you know how if your computer gets really frozen up, the internal system speackers make this BEEP sound. I was wondering how I can make that sound through vb (in otherwords, access the internal speaker system) ?

Try the Beep function.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Beep
End Sub

thats the windows extrenal speaker beep like the one that comes up when message boxes come up

I mean the internal speakers

[pro2]

look for
WIN95IO.dll
and install them,
Declare in vb:

Private Declare Sub vbOut Lib "WIN95IO.DLL" (ByVal nPort As Integer, ByVal nData As Integer)
Private Declare Function vbInp Lib "WIN95IO.DLL" (ByVal nPort As Integer) As Integer

And put those subs :

Private Sub Sound(Freq)
    vbOut 67, 182
    vbOut 66, CInt(1193280 / Freq) And 255
    vbOut 66, CInt(1193280 / Freq) \ 256
    vbOut 97, vbInp(97) Or 3
End Sub
Private Sub SoundOff()
    vbOut 97, 0
End Sub

To beep:

Sound(Freq)     'Freq = 40 to ~1000

To stop the beep :

[code]
SoundOff
[/beep]

[pro2]

Sorry for the [/beep] , dont put that..
and the freq is 40 to ~1000

that dll comes with win 98 right?

becuase I'm gonna take the program to school, and run it there, they have win 98, so my program is like 28k so the vb run time files, and my exe fit onto one floppie, so do I need to distrubite this file too? or does it come standard on win 98?

[pro2]

Me, I dont have it and I run under Win 98 SE ..
( not installed ?? )
dont take chance..
the DLL is only 4.00 Kb
juste look and download him..

[dimava]

I found the file on the internet, and I downloaded it, but it doesn't work for me. I have a Athlon 550 mother board with win98 SE

[pro2]

my ICQ is 63413316
I will send you and exemple whit the DLL

[dimava]

I'm sorry, I tried ICQ again, but it just doesn't work for me, so I uninstalled it, I have AOL my screen name is dimava.... and my email is [email protected], can you please send the sample project there?

We have found that some drivers over ride the beep. If ya do then try running your program on a pc without an intenral sound card, (if you can find one).
