BeepChecker 2.0

BeepChecker is yet another simple and intuitive software from Tecdrop. This tiny software allows you to familiarize yourself with the various sounds that Windows uses in order to alert you of different events. You can test Information, Question, Warning, or Error sounds.

Going one step further, BeepChecker can tell you if the beeps you are hearing are made by the internal PC speaker or by the PC's sound card. You can do that by simply turning off your PC speakers and, if you can still hear the beeps, then it means that they are played by the internal PC speaker. Modern PCs won't use the internal speaker.

Further more, if you change the default sound scheme of your Windows, you can use BeepChecker to verify if the change is active and live across the system.

This minimal app is very easy to use as it comes with a simple and intuitive interface. The GUI has a Play button, descriptions for each beep to be played, and for custom beeps, it comes with frequency and duration boxes. You can also press keys on your keyboard in order to play the beeps — every sounds comes with its own hotkey, which you can see by pressing the ALT key first.

BeepChecker can be run as Portable or with an installer and it's useful primarily to beginner users, who will find it helpful in learning the various sounds Windows throws at them on a regular basis. IT pros might find it useful as well, if they work with software that rely on specific Windows sounds. BeepChecker can run in virtual machines as well.
