The problem has nothing to do with the inline assembler. You can use 
OBJ2ASM to verify that the correct instructions are generated. The 
problem is that executing IN and OUT instructions under Win32 will 
generated an operating system exception.

To print to screen, use the Win32 Console API functions. I don't 
remember what the Win32 sound API is, but that has to be used to 
generate sound.
