No System Beep, WinNT

[KachiWachi]

Hey All -

I'm having a problem with no system beep all of a sudden on my M520 running WinNT4 Workstation, SP6a. I know the speaker works because when I run my old Norton Utilities on it, the speaker test passes.

Is there a way to make sure the beep is enabled (there is no sound card in the machine)?

Does anyone know of (or can anyone write) a quick and dirty program that just makes the computer beep to test the function?

Thanks!!

OK...another thought...

This guy is running the patched Large HD Support BIOS...could it all of a sudden developed a bug?

I just realized I don't hear the "beep" at startup anymore...

OK...I found a small program that will "beep" the on-board speaker called "BEEP" (by Quentin J. Christensen)

When I run this (booted from my MSDOS 6.22 Boot Disk), I get no sound from the PC Speaker. However, when I run my Norton Utilities 8.0 NDIAGS, the speaker works...

It does not beep at all after hard-reset?

OK...I ran Norton again this morning. This time the speaker didn't beep. Scratching my head, I took the hood off and re-seated the speaker connection.

All is well again.

Just goes to show you the simplest things...

Be happy it was just the speaker and not the power cord into the wall outlet. (and you thought you were overlooking the obvious).
