Alsa does work at the hardware/kernel level, correct (although it can now do software mixing before the hardware). If it doesn't show a Beep slider, then that's because your hardware doesn't support a "hardware beep" whatever that means. That should not mean that your terminals can't beep (obviously, as your VT does beep). I have seen where there is no beep slider, and then there is one after insmod pcspkr, fwiw. As alsa does mixing now, it renders any and all sound services defunct for 99% of all installations. The only reason now to have a sound service is to do network sound stuff, and even then it should NOT be concerned about mixing, it should let alsa do that. "Alas" (hehe) not any distro I know of accepts this paradigm. They are all still quite enamored with pulse and esound and the like. :( -- Von Fugal
