Oops, the LSM is wrong! SBMIX (the main app) was written by Michal H.
Tyc, who is another proud member of BTTR Software. I just contributed
some misc stuff.

So anyone responsible please change the "Author" and "Maintained-by"
fields to "Michal H. Tyc".

Hi there,
I should have been more specific.
I am not talking about the sound card, but the PC speaker, built into the 
system itself.  the hardware computer speaker, found on older machines 
more these days.

Thanks,
Karen

There never was such a general DOS tool, whatever you have seen must 
have been something manufacturer specific...

[Alain Mouette]

Do you want to make music out of that speaker?

It it is just to make some noise, there usualy are commands for that in 
various languages. What language do you use?

Sound works on every machine that have an internal speaker, and usualy 
works on notebooks. But it is designed just for bips...

Re: [Freedos-user] ot: turning up the pc speaker?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi,
I use English, Canadian, and wish to turn up the internal speaker volume.
I have seen enough to suggest that there here was some command for this.
With some DOS screen readers, that speaker is used for indications.  With 
some laptops, it can even be used for the speech output itself.

Seriously Karen, there is no such general DOS tool/command, and I am 
using DOS since the PC-DOS 1.10/MS-DOS 1.25 days.
As far as plain DOS is concerned, there are exactly two volume 
settings, "off" and "on", as it is only "programmable" 
through  manipulating  bit 1 of I/O port 61H.

The only thing that can be adjusted (crudely) is the frequency by 
using I/O ports of the Intel 8253 PIT at 42h-43h.
In case of a system with a "piezo" based "squeaker", you are even 
severely limited for that.

There might be make/model specific functionality for manipulating the 
volume by manipulating the voltage applied to the speaker, but that 
is nothing that DOS in general knows squat about and usually is a 
hardware (BIOS) function only...

For both more or less or ZERO volume, there are only hardware solutions.

Hi Karen,
According to my ancient volume of Norton ("Programmer's Guide to the IBM 
PC") there is no volume control on the PC speaker itself, which is as I 
recall. What can be done is to replace the speaker with a more efficient 
sound generator like a piezo buzzer. You can then install a 
potentiometer in series on the input and adjust it that way. We have had 
to do that with a lab machine where we replaced the speaker with 
headphones as of course the sound is much louder in the headphones.

Jim
