Hi Massimo

If I remember correctly, Lars made an OS/2 "hack" that will send the PC 
Speaker request to the audio driver.  I haven't used it but I think it 
was interesting for some old applications that used "DosBeep" command 
and you needed to get some kind of sound.

The discussion is here:
https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,2386.0.html

The file is here:
https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/?search=DosBeep_Replacement_Sample_2-0

I haven't tried it, but it may help you in some way.

Regards
