PenMount Windows CE Driver Does Not Support Beep Sound Function

Last week our customer called to inform us that PenMount Windows CE driver does not support the Beep Sound function. In the November 12, 2007 PenMount Bulletin, we erroneously reported that Windows CE driver supports Beep Sound; we apologize for this incorrect information.  The correct information is PenMount Windows CE 4.1/ 4.2/ 5.0/ 6.0 drivers do not support Beep Sound function; PenMount drivers are not able to set off the beep sound from the PC speaker or Audio Card of the system.

In Windows CE O.S., all software and hardware function settings have to be completed during operating system build-up, these function settings are not able to start up during the OS build-up. There are two methods to execute the beep sound from the PC Speaker or Audio Card:

(1)   PenMount touch driver. Different sound chipsets need different way to execute the function, it can not be standardized. PenMount team offers appropriate “event” to customers for their applications, to access the beep sound function in their own system.

(2)   When touching the screen, PenMount driver will generate a standard “event” message, customer can design beep function according to this message into their applications.

We have included the 2nd method into PenMount Windows CE driver developing plan, and will officially announce this via the PenMount Bulletin. If your have this beep sound function request before the new updated driver is completed,  please offer the event message name and definition of your application, we will customized the driver for your requirements.
