Beep on a PC

[Tobias Vancura]

Hello everybody,

there is a vi provided by LabView that should produce a beep on the
speaker. On a Macintosh that works very well, but having recently tried it
on a PC produces merely a very poor beep that can neither be changed in
duration nor frequence.

Does anybody have an idea what the problem is and whether there is a
workaround for this?

Thank you very much, yours,

Tobias

This is an OS problem. Window doesn't offer
these features. You can use LV sound lib to
play a wav file instead. See LV example.

try here, works with windows 3.1, 95, and 98. You get to control the pitch
and duration of the beep, but not the amplitude 😞
