MessageBeep() always worked on my Dell XPS running Win/98. (XPS 400 series, ca. 1999)

>>Looks like PB's Beep is a wrapper for MessageBeep(-1)
I can add that BEEP calls the USER32 MessageBeep and does so with beeptype 0 (%MB_OK).

Maybe this will work. (Because "?" doesn't exist, default sound should play)
Code:Sub PlayDefaultSound SndPlaySound "?", ByVal 0 End Sub

Did some poking around with dependance walker..
Looks like PB's Beep is a wrapper for MessageBeep(-1)
Code:WinBeep 800, 50 'KERNEL32.DLL - Beep() Beep 'USER32.DLL - MessageBeep() - default beep MessageBeep -1 'USER32.DLL - MessageBeep() - default beep

The problem is probably in my machine (Dell XPS 710) Beep produces nothng, neither does MessageBeep. WinBeep works fine though

Did you check the setting for Default Beep in the Control Panel?
Your example plays OK on my machine - PBWIN 9.00 - WinApi 05/2008 - XP Pro SP2
I like to use WinBeep (e.g. "WinBeep 800, 50") myself - though I believe it may be broken in Vista.

PB uses Beep
Purpose Sound a tone through the computer's speaker.
Syntax BEEP
Remarks BEEP plays the default Windows waveform sound, typically a ¼ second tone, through either the built-in speaker; or a sound card if installed (in which case the Windows "Default Beep" sound is played). The Default Beep can be configured in the Sounds section of Control Panel.
Your example plays OK on my machine - PBWIN 9.00 - Win32Api 27 January 2005 - XP Pro SP2
I like to use WinBeep (e.g. "WinBeep 800, 50") myself - though I believe it may be broken in Vista.Last edited by Dave Biggs; 10 Sep 2008, 10:17 AM. Reason: Correction - date of Win32API.inc released w/ PBWin90
