_beep(nFrequency,nDurationInMilliseconds)

Hey, I'm hoping someone can tell me why this is happening and a cool work-around... what else is new, right? : )

ENVIRONMENT: I have speakers in my laptop, and 3.5mm headphones, and a USB headset, and... a bluetooth headset. I have them ALL plugged in but only use them one at a time. When I plug in the 3.5mm headphones, it turns off the laptop speakers, when I plug in the USB headset it turns off the headphones, and when I turn on the bluetooth headset it turns off the USB headset.

GOOD NEWS: When I play a movie or music, I can hear everything just fine with all of the above listed hardware... all as expected, no problems!

BAD NEWS: When I try to use the _beep() function, I can hear the beep everywhere EXCEPT on the bluetooth headset.

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

#Define UNICODE
#Define WIN_INCLUDEALL
#Include Once "windows.bi"

Private Sub jBlip (ByVal n1 As LONG = 3000, ByVal n2 As LONG = 250)
    _beep n1, n2
End Sub

jBlip()

Thanks!!

You probably have system sounds muted in the volume mixer thing when the bluetooth is plugged in.

and a cool work-around

Unmute them
