uhh... C as a language has *no* capability of producing sound,
regardless of the hardware you're using. C has *no* I/O operations
defined in the language (as opposed to something disgusting like
BAS*C). I/O is taken care of by library functions or system calls.

*If* you have a machine that does support sound, and *if* the libraries
for your computer have sound routines that can be accessed from C as
function calls, then you're set. But C alone won't help you at all...

John.
