I was doing some reading about this the other day, because I have a machine on my desk that beeps at boot from the sound card, but has no PC speaker beep once it is booted. It's a little Intel NUC. I'm pretty sure it must have PC speaker emulation of some sort, because of the beep at boot that it makes before the bootloader is loaded. Apparently sometimes this stuff has to be enabled from the BIOS. I need to get some sighted help to look at the BIOS on my NUC and see if that's my problem. PS. Speaking of PC speakers, I found something really awesome the other day. The GRUB 2 bootloader can output in Morse code using the PC speaker. It is pretty useful as long as a system has one that is working. It sends very slowly, slower than 5 words per minute I think. As far as I can tell by looking at the code, there's no way to change the sending rate (yet). I customized some of my GRUB messages to be one or two letters, so that I could get feedback from GRUB about the boot process without it being terribly slow. I use a very custom and trimmed down grub.cfg. Anyway I take back every nasty thing I've ever said about GRUB2. -- Chris Brannon Founder: Blind and Low Vision Unix Users Group (https://blvuug.org/).
