Increase Volume of Beep

Question

I use this code to generate a Beep:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern bool Beep(int frequencyHz, int durationMs);

private void DoBeep() {
    Beep(800, 500);
}

Now, I am searching for a way to increase the volume of the Beep. Can someone help me about that, please?

If you are referring to the BIOS beep, there is no way to adjust volume. It is really designed for testing and debugging hardware setups. You could try MessageBeep which uses the default sound device (i.e. speakers). https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680356%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
