The +.Xr speaker 4 +and +.Xr midi 4 +devices use this to synthesize sounds. +The +.Xr isabeep 4 +and +.Xr sysbeep 4 +devices are helpers which the +.Xr pckbd 4 +driver uses as a substitute for a +.Dq keyboard beep , +because the PC keyboard hardware doesn't provide this. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr acpi 4 , +.Xr attimer 4 , +.Xr isa 4 , +.Xr midi 4 , +.Xr pckbd 4 , +.Xr speaker 4 |
