Some hideous sound now emerges from the sound card instead.
Reproduced on an HP G71-445US laptop. The honk that replaced the bell
is like a quick buzzer sound. Could you try this patchset (the first
patch of which seems to help on that machine, at least)?
FWIW, when I unload and load the pcspkr driver, it doesn't fix
anything on that machine. One of two things happens, and which
happens on each trial seems random: (A) the beep stays the same, or
(B) the beep goes away entirely.

Subject: ALSA: hda - Fix beep frequency on IDT 92HD73xx and 92HD71Bxx codecs
commit 1b0e372d7b52c9fc96348779015a6db7df7f286e upstream.
Fix HDA beep frequency on IDT 92HD73xx and 92HD71Bxx codecs.
These codecs use the standard beep frequency calculation although the
datasheet says it's linear frequency.
Other IDT/STAC codecs might have the same problem. They should be
fixed individually later.

Pulseaudio isn't even installed. Would that help? I can't see what a sound server would have to do with the PC speaker. If I go to the sound preferences, then I am presented with a window that has two tabs. The device selector has only one option HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). The first tab is labelled Playback and contains volume controls. The second tab is labelled Sound Theme, and contains a page of disabled controls. The Preferences button at the bottom merely allows me to choose which volume controls appear in the Playback tab. Matthew -- Richards' Laws of Data Security: 1. Don't buy a computer. 2.

Just tried blacklisting the pcspkr module and rebooting, and the same problem existed. I then did a modprobe pcspkr, and suddenly the PC speaker worked properly again. This looks like it is an order of loading issue. When the pcspkr module is loaded last, it works, but if it is loaded early, it doesn't.

Bug#532005: gnome: Bell beep on PC speaker no longer works
Package: gnome Version: 1:2.24.3~2 Severity: important Today I upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze. The console beep no longer works. Some hideous sound now emerges from the sound card instead. There does not seem to be any knob to switch this back. In any case, changing the behaviour behind the user's back is a nono. This applies to the beep command, echoing CTRL-G to a terminal, and all other terminal beeps. I would welcome any suggestions on how to return this to the previous operation. No idea what package broke this, so I'm filing against gnome.
