    or PC Beep if you prefer

    not the sound that comes from the notebook speakers, but from within the motherboard....

    all desktop pc's have this, do notebooks have it? does C90s has it?

    I'm pretty sure all computers have that sound.

    I guess you could disable the onboard soundcard and reboot to see if you hear that 'beep'.

    Just a side-question, what is the reason for which you need to know?

    I dont think its in a laptop, atleast not the c90 its a small speaker in a desktop but in a laptop that small speaker takes up alot of space. I would imagine they have diagnostics beeps maybe even programed to go thru the regular speakers. Thats what I would do.

    i have tried these code lines on my DesktopPC and i got sound, trough the PC Speaker:

    #include <"iostream">
    #include <"windows.h"> //remove ""

    using namespace std;

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    int frecuencia;
    for(frecuencia=0; frecuencia<1000; frecuencia++)
    Beep(frecuencia, 5);

    system("PAUSE");
    sounds

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }

    The same program on my C90s, didn't produce any sound with the volume maxed out and "PC Beep" control on mixer settings to max.

    So, i can guess, there are no beeps here! I haven't tried to go to BIOS and disable the internal sound card, is that possible with C90s? Im not in a mood for a restart :)
