[07:32] <grogbot> [discord] <chkuendig> > Since then, sound cards have become standard equipment on almost all PC computers. As sound cards became more common, manufacturers began to remove the old timer chip from computers. The chips were also excluded from the design of server computers. The result is that Beep did not work on all computers without the chip. [..]
[07:32] <grogbot> [discord] <chkuendig> > Eventually because of the lack of hardware to communicate with, support for playing sound from the motherboard speaker was dropped in Windows Vista and Windows XP 64-Bit Edition.
[07:32] <grogbot> [discord] <chkuendig> >
[07:32] <grogbot> [discord] <chkuendig> > In Windows 7, Beep was rewritten to pass the beep to the default sound device for the session. This is normally the sound card, except when run under Terminal Services, in which case the beep is rendered on the client.
[07:32] <grogbot> [discord] <chkuendig> Basically unless you are using XP (32 bit) or earlier (and have the hardware, which is unlikely), it would anyway be simulated.

[17:58] <grogbot> [discord] <chkuendig> i mean, you can get a OPL2 over usb-c (I have a retrowave myself) and people have put [raspery-pi's on ISA cards to emulate Gravis Ultrasound and OPL2](https://www.retrorgb.com/picogus-the-50-e65-58-sound-card-that-only-does-everything.html), so having a ?USB-C to PC speaker" adapter woudln't be the craziest thing

[20:59] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> @chkuendig Between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_speaker#Pulse-width_modulation and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8253, it should be possible to produce the same output using a Timer peripheral with compatible design on a modern microcontroller and/or a Raspberry Pi Pico 2040 PIO or similar solution. Worst case, a CPLD / FPGA could work...
