You can determine it easily: If you plug something into the sound card in order to mute the built-in speakers, and you still hear a sound, it's a "real" speaker besides the sound card's speakers. If you don't hear anything, all audio output - sound card AND PC speaker - is done by the built-in speakers. > Anybody know how I can redirect the beep to my speakers?

Early sound cards (e. g. the Logitech SoundMan 16) had an option to "copy" PC speaker output to the sound card output, even allowing to set the volume of this channel (treated like any other channel, e. g. CD, PCM, MIDI). > Probably help to be a dog! --That reminds me of what my parents > generation were saying about mine [with its loud music].

The kind of beep that is emitted (e. g. via BEL) doesn't seem to be adjustable. I had different systems, one of them just gave a clicking sound, where the other one made a long tone, and a third one made a "normal" tone. It seems to be determined by hardware. > Should be a way to send the beep to my desktop speakers, then, > right? I've got volume and power, treble/bass. If the PC speaker output is realized through the sound "card" (and its speakers), it will leave the computer through those speakers, or through the headphone jack. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
