Thanks, Todd - hadn't even thought about the fact that classic beep
sound literally plays through the on-board speaker...been a while...LOL!
Like said, not end of the world, but, will check out pyo, etc. in any case.

Hi Jacob,
winsound.Beep() operates on the built-in computer speaker, which is
not always included these days.
winsound.PlaySound() plays over the sound card and whatever speakers
are connected to them.
You could probably find the speaker header pins on the motherboard and
get a little PC speaker for a couple bucks to play the old timey
square wave sounds from Beep.
Alternately there are several Python synth modules that can be used to
generate tones. A popular one is called pyo. Most of them are probably
overkill for doing what Beep does, but they can be fun rabbit holes to
explore.

Hi there
Not too important, but, bit odd in that, like subject line says, using
something like the following 2 lines of code produces no audio output at
all:
import winsound
winsound.Beep(3200, 500)
Not too sure when this started happening, and, if it realtes to windows
version, etc., or just possibly other software have installed here, but
anyway.
winsound.PlaySound() function does still cooperate, so, it's not like
winsound itself is messing up audio output channels, but, just wondering
what could cause this, and, if there are any simple alternatives, in
case I just want to use it to either generate tones based on
frequencies, or use it let me know when something has finished off in
the background?
