## Audio output from a speaker
-Your keyboard can make sounds! If you've got a Planck, Preonic, or basically any keyboard that allows access to the C6 or B5 port (`#define C6_AUDIO` and `#define B5_AUDIO`), you can hook up a simple speaker and make it beep. You can use those beeps to indicate layer transitions, modifiers, special keys, or just to play some funky 8bit tunes.

-The audio code lives in [quantum/audio/audio.h](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/quantum/audio/audio.h) and in the other files in the audio directory. It's enabled by default on the Planck [stock keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/planck/keymaps/default/keymap.c). Here are the important bits:

So now you have something called `tone_plover` for example. How do you make it play the Plover tune, then? If you look further down the keymap, you'll see this:
```
-PLAY_NOTE_ARRAY(tone_plover, false, LEGATO); // song name, repeat, rest style
-PLAY_SONG(tone_plover); // song name (repeat is false, rest is STACCATO)
+PLAY_SONG(tone_plover); // song name
```
This is inside one of the macros. So when that macro executes, your keyboard plays that particular chime.
-"Rest style" in the method signature above (the last parameter) specifies if there's a rest (a moment of silence) between the notes.

## Music mode
The music mode maps your columns to a chromatic scale, and your rows to octaves. This works best with ortholinear keyboards, but can be made to work with others. All keycodes less than `0xFF` get blocked, so you won't type while playing notes - if you have special keys/mods, those will still work. A work-around for this is to jump to a different layer with KC_NOs before (or after) enabling music mode.
