Beep

[Robert Dörr]

Hi Tony

The beep statement plays the built-in system beep. This beep is a 
feature of your computer mainboard and has nothing to do with your 
soundcard.
First, check if it is activated on OS level (supposed you are using 
Windows XP):
Right Mouse Button on My Computer
... Properties
... Hardware
... Device Manager
...View
... Show Hidden devices
... Non Plug and Play Devices
... Beep

If it is activated you have to find the error somewhere else, e.g. on 
BIOS or even Hardware level. So check your BIOS for some 'system beep' 
entry. Another possibility is, that your mainboard doesn't have a 
speaker to play this sound. Some have a speaker onboard, others have 
onboard connectors for a speaker. You have to check your mainboard 
manual to find more about this.

Regards
Robert
