I suspect that my PC's internal speaker is not working (I have no sound card). I am trying to avoid replacing it. Is there a way that can convinced me that it is not working ? Is there a possibility that some other device (my modem, for example, which is capable of using it with WIN3.11 software) takes control over it ? Where the kernel is referring the speaker ? What about a /dev/speaker ?
[21:19:22 shaul]$ grep -A4 speaker /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt 13 char PC speaker 0 = /dev/pcmixer Emulates /dev/mixer 1 = /dev/pcsp Emulates /dev/dsp (8-bit) 4 = /dev/pcaudio Emulates /dev/audio 5 = /dev/pcsp16 Emulates /dev/dsp (16-bit) [21:19:28 shaul]$ ls /dev/pcsp* ls: /dev/pcsp*: No such file or directory [21:20:06 shaul]$ Are these devices refer to the PC's internal speaker ? What are the programs that can work with it ?
