Shankar, thank you for your response. Yes, the call is as you suggest -- "Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();".  Both systems, mine and the problem one will perform a sound through the PC Speaker when cntl-G is entered at the command line.  The program when run on my PC makes the beep through the sound card not the PC Speaker.  Also the problem PC will play a streamed audio from the web -- so I beleive the sound card is working in the problem PC.  Any other thoughts?  --- Mike
