In our 8.0 Point of Sale application , we need to send a short (0.1 seconds) but strong beep to the sound card when a product code is successful read into the application. This beep is intended to replace the bar code scanner beep to ensure an accurate operation.

I've tried the Beep Windows Api function, but the beep is sent to the computer internal speaker, resulting in a very low volume sound. I've also tried the MessageBeep(-1) Windows Api function, , but I can't even hear the beep in the computer internal speaker.

Does anyone has a succesful experience around this topic?

I appreciate any help.

I Really think that "messagebeep" is the way to go. Maybe you should try other values for "messagebeep"…
BEEP_ASTERISK=64
BEEP_EXCLAMATION=48
BEEP_HAND=32
BEEP_QUESTION=16
BEEP_OK=0
BEEP_SIMPLE=-1
RESULT=MESSAGEBEEP(BEEP_ASTERISK)

This will play the Windows "asterisk" sound thru your speakers.
