Hey guys, I've noticed this odd little problem in QBasic. It affects multiple versions when running under DOSBox. I've tried this in QB1.1, QB4.5, and QB7.1. The BEEP command produces no sound, however the SOUND and PLAY commands both work correctly.

Does anyone know why the BEEP command does not make a sound or how to fix it?

The speaker beep for the "bell" character (ASCII 7) is not implemented in 0.74 or earlier, but it is in current source, so you can use an SVN build of DOSBox.

I was using DOXBox 0.74. I went and downloaded the latest SVN build and it did indeed work. Thank you!
