You can wire a headphone speaker directly to a RS232 output. I used PWM not sigma-delta, what you seem to be trying, at 115.2kBauds, and xor-modulated it with a block of white noise so there was no whistling. The driver was simply a user mode program driving a standard comms port by opening a file and writing to it. The interesting part is to do it the other way around, a/d using the serial input. I do not know how this could be done but something clever involving 'modulation' from TxD could be devised. Peter -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
