Is it possible to play sounds with the
PC-Speaker (in VB 3.0) ?

Thanks for some adive, Matt

I remember doing this in BASIC on the BBC when I was, like, 9 or something Hehe. Hmm.. what was the syntax?...

It was 'play' or 'sound' or something. I think it was sound. You called the sound function and gave it a frequency and duration, and you got that tone from the PC (or in my case BBC) speaker. Might not work any more I guess. Still, worth a try eh? Good luck

I don't think VB supports the Sound method that QBasic did. Though i do remember trying to write songs with only number to play with. The best i think you can get from VB is the simple and boring beep.

As I know there's an API call to play speaker sounds... *looks*
Yeah, found it!

Public Declare Function Beep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Beep" (ByVal dwFreq As Long, ByVal dwDuration As Long) As Long

It seems that you can set frequency and duration.. hope this helps

Nice one Fox Just like old times hehe

That beep thing doesn't work on my computer. I think
it only works on Win98+ or something.

Well, I just said that to add to my posts.

Do a search for it. I know I've answered this question somewhere. Frequency, tone, sound, PC Speaker, other key words like that should do it for you.
