Hi Jaroslav. Thank you very much for your input. I created the alsa-beep.conf file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ folder and rebooted. When the system came up, I still couldn't get the speaker to make a sound via the beep command. I attached the .conf file just in case you wanted to confirm the contents. ________________________________ From: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 5, 2023 3:26 AM To: Terry Hummel <Terry.Hummel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dulani McLaurin <Dulani.McLaurin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Bug Report: Audio issues with CentOS7 [You don't often get email from perex@xxxxxxxx.

But no sound coming from the 5810 PC internal Speakers Beeps/terminal bells are a bit different. They are handled through the sound servers these days, thus the PWM modulator output is disabled by default in the HDA driver. I assume that you're running your system without the sound server. $ modinfo snd-hda-intel | grep beep parm: beep_mode:Select HDA Beep registration mode (0=off, 1=on) (default=1). (array of bool) Note that CentOS 7 have the default 0 (off) for this parameter. The description is incorrect. Try to set this module parameter in modprobe configuration files: echo "options snd-hda-intel beep_mode=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-beep.conf ... and reboot Jaroslav -- Jaroslav Kysela <perex@xxxxxxxx> Linux Sound Maintainer; ALSA Project; Red Hat, Inc.
