Tim here. Are you running a GUI or just a plain terminal? In X you can use the `xset` command to set the properties of the system bell $ xset b on $VOLUME $PITCH $DURATION So to set the bell to maximum volume (100) at 423 Hertz for 120 milliseconds, you'd issue $ xset b 100 423 120 You might also poke at your alsamixer to see if the channel for your PC beeper (often a channel named "Beep") $ amixer -q -c 0 set Beep 100% In the plain terminal (not in X), you can use the `setterm` command to adjust the pitch and duration but not the volume unless you mess with alsamixer/amixer: $ setterm -bfreq 400 -blength 50 Hopefully one or more of those gets you something loud enough (I'm on the other end of this spectrum and find the beeper jarringly loud, so I use these commands to make some nice low quiet buzz) -Tim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
