Internal mobo speaker: how to make it output sound as a test

[SFR]

In the "old" days, mobos had a dedicated speaker output which used
the built in timer to generate the tones.

One day I must set up Puppy on my (hopefully yet) barely alive, 13 y.o. box and will return to this...
But ...>/dev/audio is a fun too, after all.

Greetings!

Code: Select all

cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/audio

will "play" the entire HDD

Flash,
I think SFR has found your "program"
(reminds me of "beautiful noise coming up from the street")

Yes, I think that's it. Thanks, SFR.

I tried to play a directory containing a bunch of mp3 files with it but it refused. I need to research the use of the cat command and the use of dev/, I guess.

Musicians like to have length of a tone not in milliseconds, I think
