In recent kernel builds, pcspkr is not included as a compiled module.

This made my pc silent when I wanted to retain the beeps.

I tried using snd-pcsp with the following result:

Aug  5 17:00:18 victoria kernel: [12610.011216] Platform driver 'pcspkr' needs 
updating - please use dev_pm_ops
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012153] input: PC Speaker as 
/devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input3
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012579] PCSP: Timer resolution is not 
sufficient (4000250nS)
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012604] PCSP: Make sure you have HPET 
and ACPI enabled.
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.012652] PC-Speaker initialization 
failed.
Aug  5 17:00:19 victoria kernel: [12610.013267] pcspkr: probe of pcspkr failed 
with error -5

This machine has a 1998 BIOS (Intel 440BX chipset) and does not seem to be compatible with snd-pcsp.

Hi,
The next release of Debian (6.0, code name Squeeze) will be based
on 2.6.32. Please test the current 2.6.32 from unstable and tell
us whether the problem persists. If so, we should report it upstream
to the kernel.org developers.

The 2.6.32 kernel is available from packages.debian.org and can
be installed in both Debian stable, testing and unstable
installations.

Thanks,
        Moritz


Hi, pcspkr loads fine and I get the speaker beeps with kernel 2.6.32 from Debian Unstable thanks.

Regards,

Arthur.
