Hello:

in my programming language the win api beep(Frequency, Duration) produces no sound, although normal sound files can be played correctly with any media player. what's the problem?

Hi

My guess is that there may be no onboard speaker.

Could you give more details please.

Also what language / code you are using?

Nothing in the manual about it.

Actually I use PureBasic as programming language, which supports win api functions. I can play sounds using PlaySound(), also using vlc media player, but  beep_(freq, duration) gives no sound. everything was OK in my old laptop (running W7-x64)

Unless Beep play sound on a buzzer (separate from speakers) and this model don't have one.

Hi

"Unless Beep play sound on a buzzer (separate from speakers) and this model don't have one."

I cannot evoke any beep sound from mine either, so I believe it does not have an onboard speaker.
