It does not have the option to play music through the PC speaker, the lowest option is AdLib. There's a later port which supports it, but it's extremely recent.
The author, who actually understands how this works, should explain how it works to you.... It would eat up whole your CPU power, so you would be hearing doom music, but don't have CPU power to actually run the game....
@Nocommentsuwu "Not cool bruh is boring". Learn grammar and get a brain, kid. Why did you watch it then if you think it's boring? You lack brain cells that's why
Same, but after listening to the Agent X II title theme, at the same it blew my mind because the composer used asm code to have a 6 channel sound generator using the beeper on the ZX Spectrum
There was a sound driver for Windows 3.1 that played through the PC speaker. Problem was that while playing a sound the whole system froze. Same thing happens on the NES in Direct PCM mode which is why the Battletoads intro text draws at an inconsistent speed.
Way back in the days, there was a program for windows 95 called afterdark, and if you didn't have a soundcard, it would play the windows sounds through the pc speaker, and yeah, quality is very similar to this! I am glad that, for OG Doom 1 & 2, they only had the sound effects playing on the pc speaker! In fact, it's a relic of the past that is still being in our computers to this day, and yes, they are unaltered!
This reminds me of the PC speaker sound driver from the 90s that played WAV sounds through the PC speaker without a sound card. The entire machine would freeze while any sounds were being played, and there was no volume control. Otherwise, it was pretty cool lol.
Fun fact: back in the days pc cases usually had a small speaker instead of a buzzer, and it was not uncommon to have games play PCM audo through it, like Another World. Also, windows 3.0 had an audio driver for the pc speaker, which could be ported to windows 3.1 just by copying the files. At the highest quality it uses all the cpu so while playing audio everything else stopped 😆
This makes me appreciate the magic of how a full range speaker makes clear sound to give sound for our music or RU-vid videos. And for car chimes how simple or difficult is it to customize them. Are their speakers only capable of making a very specific sound
next you've gotta play a recording of the sc55 version through the pc speaker, pretty sure theres a program to play samples (wavs, etc.) through the beeper
Yo, what if you got like three old Dell's and sync'd them based on internet time. Then run a script that waits til say like 1:00pm and then they all chime in, each a different instrument. Btw your video is about to go viral, I can pretty much guarantee that.

@@Sleepingbackwards Piezo buzzers are available for DC supply, though the piezzo element itself needs an AC signal at the buzzer's frequency. The complete buzzers include a circuit that generates the AC voltage at the frequency needed.
@@MichaelsHardware lol it was just a bad joke. If the computer fails the POST, it will generate a beep code. For example, 4 short beeps means "system timer failure" on some PCs.
