Try Beep(3000,500); for sound on the PC speaker (works for me under XP).

Also,

PlaySound("SystemQuestion",HInstance,SND_ALIAS|SND_ASYNC);

plays the System Question sound (whatever that is configured as) on the proper 
speakers (attached to the sound card)

He wants to make beep the internal (crappy) speaker so he doesn't have to 
turn on speakers likely

Beep works also without parameters

If I de-attach the sound card under WinXP
then internal speaker will beep !!!
but I want to beep it when I have the sound card attached to mainboard.

You know?
I want to alert the user, when he made a mistake
a ShowMessage, an Image visibility and both Internal Speaker and Soudncard
Speaker will alert him !!
I wonder how to beep the internal speaker
Thanks everybody

Try

::MessageBeep(-1);

None of the APIs I know worked for me.
Actually, I think I read somewhere that APIs of windows use the external 
speaker if a soundcard is present (I can't recall if that was different in 
Win9x).
You should try asking in some assembler related NG to access output ports 
directly maybe.
btw if you come up to a solution before us it'd be nice to know it.

Can I know your system configuration?
HDes? OS? etc?

I don't think I have to go that far as giving anyone what's "exactly" my PC 
configuration but I can tell you I use XP with a soundblaster Live.

Right, dug out my old copy of PC intern for you.

void HardBeep(int Freq, int Duration)
{
    OSVERSIONINFO osInfo;
    osInfo.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);

    GetVersionEx(&osInfo);

    if( osInfo.dwMajorVersion >= 5 ||
        osInfo.dwPlatformId == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT )
    {
        Beep(Freq,Duration);
        return;
    }
    asm {
        mov eax,1193181
        xor edx,edx
        mov ebx,dword ptr [Freq]
        div ebx
        pushd eax
        mov al,182
        out 0x43,al
        pop eax
        out 0x42,al
        mov al,ah
        out 0x42,al
        in al,0x61
        or al,3
        out 0x61,al
    }
    Sleep(Duration);
    asm {
        in al,0x61
        and al,0xfc
        out 0x61,al
    }
}

The above function basically does the Beep command under Win9x as it does 
for NT and above. On an NT based system it simply calls the Beep command. If 
under any NT system this produces a beep on the sound card, then its because 
your sound card drivers are intercepting commands to the internal speaker in 
an attempt to be helpful.

I've tested the above on WinXP and Win98 with an audigy sound card and the 
sound card was never used. 

Exactly what I was needing :-) thanks very much

thanks a lot, I'm gonna try it right away!
