<DIV><BR></DIV>See <A
href="http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2008-December/076910.html">this
post</A> for an explanation. Some newer or "economy" PCs do not emulate
the old PC speaker "BIOS beep" functions used by the Win-Test SOUND command,
so you are out of luck.<BR><BR>The first PCs could beep or make crude (square
wave) sounds via an internal speaker, way before the invention of sound
cards. The were accessed via I/O port 61h. Many manufacturers have
decided to save money by omitting this now little-used PC speaker port, though
some still emulate it.<BR><BR>See <A

you get a USB-to-Serial converter, you should be able to send CW to your radio

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've today acquired one of the small notebooks
under Windoxs XP (Samsung). No problem installing Wintest ver 4. Everythink
works fine, DVR as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I cannot hear the CW messages. Of course,
the souncard is working, the loudspeakers are on, and the Wintest SOUND
command has been issued. Just one point however : this small sized
computer has no serial port, has only USB ports, and I have no USB
to serial adapter pluged in, so the COM-ports in the configuration page are
all gray. Maybe there is the reason why I don't get anything, but I wan't to
be sure there is no other cause.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help ?</FONT></DIV>
