This is a description precisely matching what I experience on my 486 laptop 
that I described last month. If it is the same problem, it is not only on the 
speaker but it is keyed as well.

I will be interested in a solution, if one is found.

A reminder; 486 (can't remember the speed; shouldn't matter much), Win95, both 
DOS window and boot-to-DOS, speaker and keyer output exhibit same anomaly.
