Sound is very much part of the "online experience" nowadays. Many old computers from offices etc dont have a dedicated sound card. There is however a way of getting mp3's and such to play via the pc speaker...not with great quality so I understand but they play. It would be great as a "last resort".
Apparently the pc speaker driver is included with kernels > 2.6.26, but Im interested n getting it working with the 2.6.18.1 kernel used by 2 series puppies.
Has anyone any experience with this driver, or could create a package for it?

Out of curiosioty, I tested this (happen to have have a kernel 2.6.28 thanks to kirk - so module is already compiled in).
Believe me - if you want to listen to mp3, save your ears from high-frequency damage and get a soundcard - any soundcard.
cheers!
EDIT: I tested it on an nForce chipset, which the module author already warns of a very bad output. YMMV.

I think a lot of the reason would be the extremely small size of the pc speaker, not good for bass response. I have heard you can rig it up to a bigger speaker for better bass.
Another reason I wish to use it is as a notification when a computer setup is complete...the "beep" bash command isnt included in puppy either.

To get Puppy to beep, use
Code: Select all
echo -e "\007"
I think you can probably work out what Im needing the PC speaker for rcrsn51 Thank you yet again for another contribution to this.
There is also the "beep" command, which is currently not installed in Puppy Linux
Like in this tutorial

the "beep" package is here, I even had a go at compiling it ( ) but failed.

Here is a beep PET. Contrary to what the tutorial above says, you need to run the command like this:
Then you can start playing around:
Code: Select all
beep -f 880 -l 500 (880 Hz for 500 ms)
beep -f 880 -l 500 -r 3 (repeat three times)
beep -f 880 -l 500 -n -f 440 -l 800 (play two tones)
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
for N in 261.6 293.7 329.6 349.2 392.0 440.0 493.9 523.2; do
beep -f $N -l 500
done

beep -f 1 -l 10
beep -f 660 -l 125
beep -f 880 -l 250
beep -f 660 -l 100
beep -f 1 -l 40
beep -f 880 -l 300
Guess we all have our talents
Moving on....a PC speaker driver would still be useful enough to enough people to need it to be available.
