[comp.windows.ms] Sounds using sndtool on PS/2-70?

yee@osf.org (Michael K. Yee) (06/27/91)

	I am new to sounds on a PS/2.  I have tried to use the Win3 program
	'Sndtool'.  When I try to play a sound, it just humms and sputters
	on our PS/2-70.  Other programs like 'Sounder' and 'Sputter' do not
	work either.

	Do I need special hardware (i.e. Soundblaster) to play sounds?  I've
	read in the Sndtool documentation that the PC should have a 'real'
	speaker and not a piezo-electric buzzer.  Is this the problem that I
	am having with the PS/2?  I would think that a speaker would be
	standard PC equipment.  May be not :'(.


	Thanks in advance,

	=Mike
