Hi Ralf, I've looked into this, brltty-tune is only used to play the usual sounds of brltty, which are obviously connected to braille display actions. The odd sound can even be heard, when I'm not sitting at the terminal. But thanks for the time and effort you put into this. Best wishes, Jeanette When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3

Re: [arch-general] sporadic strange PC speaker sounds
PS:
I wanted to know, if there's the need to add a melody file ...
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ brltty-tune --help
Usage: brltty-tune [option ...] note... | -f [{file | -}...]
-f--files Use files rather than command line arguments.
-v loudness --volume= Output volume (percentage).
-d device --device= Name of tune device.
-i instrument --instrument= Name of MIDI instrument.
-h--help Print a usage summary (commonly used options
only), and then exit.
-H--full-help Print a usage summary (all options), and then
exit.
... regarding the MIDI instrument I now have doubts that it does use
the PC speaker beep.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ man brltty-tune
No manual entry for brltty-tune

[arch-general] sporadic strange PC speaker sounds
Hey hey, occasionally I hear a short "tune" on my pc speaker. It's too unexpected and too short to try lsof to see which process is using the pc speaker. The sound is reminiscent of old console games. It's several short notes, all in a blues pentatonic. this has been an issue right from the installation. The only special daemon running is brltty, which at least didn't use to make such sounds in the past. Can anyone suggest a process or a method of finding it? It only happens a couple of times a day, but this could be a problem when recording with the microphone. On the other hand, I can't turn off the pc speaker, since I rely on BRLTTY and other signals in non recording contexts. Thank you and best wishes, Jeanette When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3
