PC Speaker

Anything I can do with this??? I just put it in my PC.
I ran some wav's on it using pwm and it sounds like the worst thing in existance

It's literally for beeping, what do you mean what can you do with it?

congrats, you can now play DOS era games the way they were meant to be played.

I mean I can play 6 bit 20000hz wav files on it

Actually no, my GPU taints the PC monitor green. Same problem LGR had.

>LGR
funnily enough, that's the same exact image he used for the video
Is this the reason why made his thread? Found that there was a piezoelectric speaker lying around and put it in the PC?

Yeah
Mine has a really long cable through

You can troubleshoot mobos. That's pretty much it.

>he doesn't like the satisfying BEEP on boot

>not having boop bamm bumm sound

You can turn it into a microphone and use it as a midi trigger

I have one of those in a box. I didn't bother putting it in my PC.

In the current year this can be used to read out BIOS errors. That's about it.

of course it does, it's a piezo speaker
the original pc speakers were not piezo, the software you're using isn't made for the kind of speaker you're using

(ps. i actually had this game, and had no sound card initially, so i know for a fact it sounds like that)

Hmmm... which one, man?
The one that goes "bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-beep."
No, man. You're thinking of "bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-bop."
Bee-boo-boo-boo-boo-bop,[Garbly telephone noise]bee-boo-boo-bop,[Garbly telephone noise]boo-boo-bee-bop?[Garbly telephone noise]Not bee-boo-boo-beep?[Garbly telephone noise]Bop?[Garbly telephone noise]Beep?[Garbly telephone noise]Boo-boo-bop?

Im currently producing cutting edge dubstep on 2 of these badboys hooked up to my 10inch sub fagets

There was some early 90s game that figured out how to play full voice samples through these speakers. Of course, it came along well after better technology was standardized.

and if you don't know what a typical pc speaker looked like before the modern piezo one that is really only good for high pitched beeps

the problem was figuring out how to do it, the concept is very simple
the problem was that it took a lot of cpu power, the pc speaker is a very dumb device, no buffer or anything, to play high frequency sounds on it, you need to send all the data in real time straight from the cpu, which eats a shitload (for the time) of cpu time, so it was simply not feasable until cpu's got faster

>the problem wasn't* figuring out how to do it

-- comparing that to a basic wave/pcm soundcard, the soundcard has it's own memory buffer, and handles timing the output (that is, playing the buffered samples at a specific rate, such as 22050hz)
so all the cpu needs to do it keep the buffer filled, which is a simple mass transfer every so often, quite minimal cpu load, and there's little regard to timing (you can be quite lax, all that matters is that you don't wait so long that you underrun the buffer, as then you get crackling)

It sounded terrible because PC speakers are monophonic. If you play a single channel midi it actually sounds decent.

I threw it in the trash because the beep sound everytime the computer starts was annoying

Kids these days.

No you can't. It's _literary_ 1bit.

>modern piezo one
Nothing "modern" about it.
Piezo ones existed parallel to the cone speaker ones.

Even the PET, several years before the PC was even a thing, in '77, had a piezo beeper.

i'm not saying piezo speaker technology is modern, but their use in (ibm compat) pc's
maybe i overestimate how many pc clones has cone speakers, but from what i've seen, they all used cone speakers until around the end of the 90's, once integrated sound chips become a standard feature and the pc speaker was relagated to only diagnostic purposes

Its for mobo error beeps brah

unplug it
>that beep whenever you press tab on the clli but theres no complete suggestions
ITS FUCKING TORTURE

Make a crystal earpiece

Put it in your ear like some secret CIA FBI service man, then go into town and walk up to some random and guy say "freeze, I'm Fox Mulder and I'm about to kick your ass".

the fun thing with pfsense is that it plays a cheerful melody on boot

my desktop motherboard beeps 5-6 times

i never pit those in

Why are these not just hard wired onto motherboard?

better to have the option to have one or not instead of having it soldered in

throw that obsolete thing in the trash and use its replacement

these beep , nothing else
they are for troubleshooting

LOL, i understood this reference

Nope, these small modern buzzers have different sound than the old speakers.

I've seen mobos where they were. The downside is you can't disconnect them

they used cones as it was actually used as speaker as soundcards where not common in most (office) computers at the time , so dos or any program would boop at you from the integrated speaker
as soundcards became standard and built into every mobo they switched to buzzers as it only needed to beep now

Actually, any other suggestions what could be made from these?

I collected bunch of them, both the oldschool cone/magnet speakers and these black piezo buzzers.

now you have a problem where the lcd does not work but the sound does what do?

Maybe look up what pfsense does to the system speaker on startup and shutdown. They have a few different notes going through it.

Wish PCs had built in speakers like Macs do, doesn't have to be good it just makes it feel more of a unit.

Man that shit is scary.

Most LCDs, so there you have it. All-in-ones have speakers too, which is what imac is. Trashcan or mac mini don't have speakers, do they?

I know a python library that uses it:

docs.python.org/2.6/library/winsound.html?highlight=sound#winsound.Beep

Sounds terrible though

But you can just buy a display with a speaker?

is it just me or modern motherboard rarely beep?

Mine used to beep from time to time. I didn't know what it was, then I noticed I had warning temperature set to 60C and CPU would hit it often in load.
>TIM under heatspreader, with the oversized cooler I have, I would have sub-50C temp if the CPU was soldered.

Why not just set up a simple speaker system through your 3.5? it would most likely sound a lot better than an internal speaker

>Trashcan or mac mini don't have speakers, do they?
Yep they do, the big towers did too.

ThinkStations also do.

I love having a speaker built into my tower, so fucking convenient for my server.

that's pretty much what i said

some do, or used to
my optiplex gx110 did, it had a typical 8ohm pc speaker, but it was wired into the onboard sound chip, so it output both pc speaker sound as well as the sound chip sound
i also know a bunch of office computer type desktops have similar configuration, since they're office machines, they're unlikely to have been setup with external speakers or headphones, so they have an internal speaker

For some reason some computers that I have used will play regular desktop audio on this. Is that normal?
