Rafael,
There is not any difference in using classes from Net between Visual Basic
and C#.
The only difference is the program language around that.
So probably there is something else.

Console.Beep uses the PC Speaker rather than the soundcard (the same speaker
that the BIOS uses).
Do you have a PC Speaker?
Console.Beep(); is the equivelant of calling the Interop Beep method:
\\\
Beep(800, 200);
///
...where the method is defined as:
\\\
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
private static extern int Beep(int dwFreq, int dwDuration);
///
The MessageBeep Interop function plays a Wave sound through the soundcard.
There is no need to use MessageBeep via Interop, just use:
\\\
System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep.Play();
///

I don't know why it doesn't beep,
you might try this function instead:
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, ExactSpelling=true)]
public static extern bool MessageBeep(int type);
HTH,

Thank you Mick!!
System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep.Play(); worked just fine. Although I wonder
why Console.Beep(); doesn't beep, there must be some configuration that I
haven't set, or something...

Hi Rafael,
As I stated, Beep uses the PC Speaker, which is attached to the motherboard
(mainboard),
whereas, MessageBeep plays a wave sound through the soundcard. So
Console.Beep() will only sound if you have a PC Speaker attached to the
motherboard.
If you have a PC Speaker then it may have been disabled.

Thank you Mick!
I checked in the device manager and the non plug and play Beep device was
not disable, although there's another thing with Motherboard cable that I
have to check.
Again, thank!
