Re: make OpenBSD beep at start
does this thing have an azalia(4)? because with at least some, the beep volume and mute is controlled through the mixer. it should be unmuted by default, but the volume could be low. but then this also depends on the codec ... I didn't see a dmesg in this thread. if you do have an azalia(4), please also include the output of 'mixerctl -v'. I will check. The bios neither beeps. As it's a mini PC, I did not know if it was normal or not. Speaker is certainly not wired. Thanks for the help. I just want to add a beep in rc.local because I mounted a NAS server and as no screen wired, the beep will give information that system has been completely loaded.

Yep, very simple to do if the console is redirected to com0:
#include fcntl.h
#include dev/isa/spkrio.h
#include sys/ioctl.h
#include stdlib.h
#define FREQUENCY 2000
#define DURATION 50
int main(void) {
int spkr;
tone_t tone;
tone.frequency=FREQUENCY;
tone.duration=DURATION;
spkr = open(/dev/speaker, O_WRONLY, 0);
ioctl(spkr, SPKRTONE, tone);
close(spkr);
return 0;
}
With a little effort you could make this so that you can define it on
the command line.
Or you could go by a previous suggestion and make it play a little
song by piping a text file into /dev/speaker.

^^
as in, you can see that the speaker header on the mainboard is not
connected? yes, you /probably/ won't get beeps if there is a speaker
header on the board, and it is not connected to a speaker. but some
machines might also send the beep to the audio output lines ...

there is already an easy way to choose frequency/duration:
# echo CACAL2CA /dev/speaker

I can confirm that midiplay works; I've used it in the past, before I knew any better. But using a midi file player to play a *.mid file via the PC speaker is a very roundabout way to produce a beep.

Re: make OpenBSD beep at start
Those only work *on the console*, which may not be on the actual
OpenBSD box (because the user may be using serial console
redirection/ssh/whatever. There may still be uses for a program that
produces a PC speaker beep on the machine it runs on.

Why do you think Daniel said wear out?
