Yes, this happens in the 2.6 kernel if the pc speaker input is compiled as a module. To fix it, execute: modprobe pcspkr To enable it by default, just load that at startup. -- Joseph C.

My problem is that I don't remember if this was a 2.6.xx kernel or a Fedora issue. Can someone let me know all the goods on this one, especially how to turn the system speaker back on by default?
