I have had exactly the same problem, albeit only with an intel hda codec. The interesting thing is that the beep works only when the sound is deactivated (power saving mode on hda chip), so I think it has something to do with the hardware. > Both laptops used to run Debian and issued beeps in console mode on > double tab in bash, etc. I did modify any files to disable beeps, > and yes I have unmuted all sound controls. Now that doesn't fit my theory. But hope this helps anyway. Regards, Jan -- Four bits at a time www.thenybble.de -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
