well the pc speaker in some cases is rather small and really doesn't do much.
however now its part of your soundcard.
So if you ever played sound files through your pc speaker it would be
the same as your soundcard ofcause it would be mono.
Supposedly with desktops you can rip out the pcspeaker and put a
small speaker in the box wire it in and let it go a pc anyway.
Though these days soundcards are really cheap 30 bucks for a real basic one.
and 200-300 for the best though if you pay between 60 and 80 you
will still get more than you will ever know what to do with.

Hi,
I dragged out an old machine that's running Windows XP. It does have a
PC speaker. I think it was purchased in 2002. I remember playing the
demos of your games previously on it, and the PC speaker worked. The
only thing I have to do to get this machine up and running again is to
replace the fan.
I do look forward to the game you mentioned. It sounds intriguing.
Considering that the shooting range and Cops were both excellent, I
imagine that merging them will create something very worth my time and
money.
