Beep/bell doesn't work
Beep/bell doesn't work
I use pulseaudio and beeping doesn't work. I tried beep, xkbbell and echo -ne '\007'. Loading the pcspkr or snd-pcsp modules doesn't help(although loading snd-pcsp adds a new output device in pavucontrol). No sound device is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/. pulseaudio-module-x11 and pulseaudio-utils are not installed as I heard they might cause the problem.

Which Desktop Environment (DE) are you using?
What is your soundcard, and what is the driver in use?

I don't use a DE, i just use Openbox as a WM.

Re: Beep/bell doesn't work
I am not familiar with your Intel 6 Series/C200 chip. That said, I would go ahead and install these recommended (but not dependent) packages:
pulseaudio-module-x11
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
rtkit
Do you have alsa-base and alsa-utils installed?
Also, what is the make and model of the computer? Some Intel chips need a "model=xxx" option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.
Is anything blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf?
Finally, can you please post /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf?

Re: Beep/bell doesn't work
I did not have alsa-base and alsa-utils installed.
If I install them /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf blacklists snd-pcsp

What do you mean by make and model of computer? It's a custom build if that's what you mean, the motherboard is a ASRock H61M-S.

Re: Beep/bell doesn't work
Leave your alsa-base-blacklist.conf as it is. I think maybe the bottom of your alsa-base.conf got cut off -- I will paste in mine and you can compare the settings (my card is Intel 82801JI/ICH10 Family and uses the snd_hda_intel driver too):
Ooops -- on my computer I can see your entire file -- on my phone I could not. They look the same. Have you rebooted since you installed alsa?
Also (having built my own desktops), is there any possibility that you simply mis-wired the internal speaker? It's easy enough to do.

Re: Beep/bell doesn't work
I did restart and it doesn't work.
I think I misunderstood what beep should do. I want it to beep in my headphones/speakers not the internal pc speaker.

Re: Beep/bell doesn't work
Hmmmmmm. I never thought of that. Upon reflection, I don't think I've ever heard a beep in my headphones -- I think the old "bell" function does not get routed to headphones.bno1 wrote: I think I misunderstood what beep should do.

Wikipedia says it is a physical pizoelectric speaker on the motherboard.

Re: Beep/bell doesn't work
I see. I could use paplay to simulate it and just alias beep as that.
Thank you for your support

Re: Beep/bell doesn't work
Beep/bell doesn't work also for me, for example scrot doesn't sound.
Can I fix it?
