Wait. What now? You have (at least) two sound-devices that can beep: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
a) the beeper on your motherboard |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
in this case, use what I wrote, i.e. |
| 32 |
pcsp=enable=1 |
| 33 |
in your kernel commandline and make sure |
| 34 |
modprobe pcspkr |
| 35 |
works. The module is not needed in the initrd. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
b) the onboard-sound-chip via attached speakers/headphones |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
in this case, disable the mobo-beeper (might be default) |
| 40 |
blacklist pcspkr |
| 41 |
explicitly, possibly along with with the kernel-parameter |
| 42 |
pcsp=enable=0 |
| 43 |
and your normal alsa-driver should take over the task of "beeping" |
| 44 |
(snd-pcsp is a different beast). |
| 45 |
If it does not, your alsa-driver might be buggy as it should take |
| 46 |
over the beeping. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
HTH, |
| 49 |
-dnh, I wanted case a), beeping completely independent from any other |
| 50 |
audio stuff. And with the program 'beep' |
| 51 |
(http://www.johnath.com/beep) and/or the snd-pcsp driver, you can |
| 52 |
use the beeper to do more than the standard beep. |
