win 3.1 ultrageek needed

[cornishacid Profile]

i just found an old laptop of mine. Its the toshiba T4400SX, its black and white and running win 3.1
basically i want to somehow start using it for sound, just for the novelty really. but all it has is a blip blop style inbuilt pc speaker. ive downloaded a driver which is meant to enable it to play wav files through the pc speaker but i cant get it to work.


any suggestions?

Do you know for a fact that the speaker even works?

Maybe it's gone to shit.

And I remember playing SkiFree on 3.1 (I think). Good times.

nah, its all in working order. ive heard it bleep cos i loaded a game called Kiloblaster into it.

hmmm...

can't point you towards a good driver, but if it's using pcm to emulate a modern dac, you do realize it's likely going to sound like total shit even if you do get it working...?

the subject brings me back though... i remember being 12 or 13, cutting stuff under 3.1 in pocket recorder with a monophonic Disney Sound Source plugged into my parallel port... now that thing sounded good.
