Thanks bam, You're right, it's not fixed. Whenever I restart Ubuntu it's a gamble as sometimes the system beep works and sometimes it doesn't. The 'beep' command always works, and when using virtual consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6) the system beep always works, though the pitch seems higher. I cha

Hi Anthony, have you "echo -e '\a'" working in Ubuntu X11 Terminal? The only way I could get beeper sound in X11 is 'beep' command. But in virtual consoles, all the methods work. So maybe it's too early to set this bug as Fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ub

Well the beep is back, for now. I noticed it working today and possibly was due to yesterday's updates (I'll attached a file called "updates_term_log.txt"). This could be one of those one time only scenarios, so I'll wait until after a few system restarts and report back. Here is the output for

I have rebooted several times using Advanced options for Ubuntu and switching between 4.4.0-21-generic and 4.7.0-040700rc6-generic. Sometimes the beep actually works for both kernal modules (yes 4.4.0-21 and 4.7) and sometimes it doesn't, but usually it doesn't. In all cases it is very random and

The problem is definitely 100% in 4.4.0-28-generic. I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a different computer and the beep worked properly. It initially had only 4.4.0-21-generic under /lib/modules/ then updated to 4.4.0-28 and the problem immediately started on that machine. I'm going to assume it was th

Thank you Joseph, I will test v4.7-rc6 mainline build. This is another first for me, so I need some time to learn this, plus I will set up and install Ubuntu 16.04 on a different machine to avoid risks, and test the bug on another computer. Hopefully I will have this all done within 24-48 hours.
