The lack of beeps seems to be some sort of kernel issue I haven't tracked down so far. I have a 8-year-old acer laptop, that sends beeps through its speakers or headphone jack. When I ran a 3.0.x kernel from debian/devuan jessie, I still got beeps even after boot. Since upgrading the machine to devuan Ascii based on debian stretch with I believe a 3.16.x kernel, the beeps have turned into an almost imperceptible click sound from the speakers or headphones. The machine can still beep before the kernel loads, and can still beep when I boot it into windows 10. I do not use pulseaudio. Before, the volume of the beeping was controlled through a control called Beep in amixer/alsamixer. Now, with that volume control unmuted, and raised to 100% it makes no difference. Before, the beeps were heard when pcspkr was loaded, and pcspkr is still loaded. On the other hand, the desktop machine I built in 2019 has a speaker attached to the motherboard header, and that beeps just fine with the pcspkr module loaded like it should.
