Re: System speaker beep

If I execute ECHO ^G at the shell, I get a barely audible beep from the
speakers. On the audio control panel, system speaker is set to full volume
and is not muted. If I change the setting to minimum volume I don't hear any
beep at all. Other sound sources work properly. How can I get the beep on
ECHO ^G to sound at normal volume? (Not that ^G is important, but I have
several other things that are quite useful and that make sound the same way
^G does. E.g., a pitch identification trainer that uses old interpreted
MBASIC. Like ^G, it sounds in the speakers, but just barely.)


Usually, the internal PC speaker can not be controlled. It is just a
simple alarm speaker which is used to tell you if there is a hardware
problem during the PC boot up sequence.

However, several large OEM PC makers (Dell, IBM, Compaq etc...) can
add their own controls to the PC for adjusting the volume. However,
there is no "standard way" to adjust the volume.
