Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
 
Private Function Play(uFlags As Long)
    Dim Rc As Long
    Rc = sndPlaySound(mFileName, uFlags)
End Function
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
       mFileName = "C:\Windows\Media\hello.wav"
        Play (uFlags)
        DoEvents

Do you mean the INTERNAL speaker (PC Speaker) or the sound card's output port? That code will do the sound card one, but not the internal speaker.

Don't you need to send sound through the card to get to the speaker?

I think he already said PC SPEAKER!

all i know is

private sub cmd_butbeep
Beep
End sub



DAMN IM TOO BASIC.....

[sharkfrom]

YES! I mean "PC SPEAKER".No sound cards ,no nothing.
About the 'Beep' command I tried it ,it just doesn't work.
Maybe if we put some more code in it?

SORRY Spyplayer.
Turns out you're right.I just couldn't hear my speaker.
And here's a tip:
for higher sounds alter N
for i= 1 to N
beep
next i
the higher N is the higher the beep is

Why not just use the API function, hell of a lot easier:

Private Declare Function Beep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Beep" (ByVal dwFreq As Long, ByVal dwDuration As Long) As Long
 
Private Sub cmdBeep_Click()
    Beep 1000, 100
    Beep 3500, 250
End Sub

You can make some really good tunes out of it. I made 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Start' once.

Yet,
these r not the sounds I've been looking for.
I apreciate the effort, but I'm looking more of a 'starting the computer' kind of beep.

the beep is different on the different BIOS chips available and the different PC Speakers. Have a fiddle with the frequency and duration of the Beep.
