[comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer] Adding sounds to a PC program

bruno@sdcc10.ucsd.edu (Bruce W. Mohler) (05/09/90)

What are my options if I want to add portable sound to a
game program that would run on a PC without additional 
hardware?

By portable, I mean that it would run on different types
of machines at different clock speeds, but would still
sound the same.  By "without additional hardware", I
mean that I don't want to add an additional card that
would have sound generation circuitry on it.

Am I limited to modifying the ^G bell character?  Does
this involve tweaking the timer chip?  Will I have to
use (gag) assembly?

Pointers to book, articles, source code, PD/shareware
libraries are all appreciated!

Thanks, in advance.
