as a side note, Beep_() is not supported in vista and xp 64. since win7, Beep_() sends the signal to the sound device. in xp 32 and earlier, it used to send the signal to the internal system speaker.

Sound cards are obsolete, as motherboards have sound chips built-in. Been that way for many years. Can't remember the last time I saw a sound card for sale, or even inside a PC tower.
