#136294 - Buzzer connections
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hook the buzzer power to VDD and hook the buzzer ground to the 8051. Write a zero to the output to drive it.

The 8051 is designed to sink current, not source it. If the source current is too high, the output will think that you are trying to drive it to zero as an input, and the Ioh current will be reduced.

This is described in detail in the 8051 data sheets.
