There are parameters related to beeping when the sound card is Intel HDA. Those are set. I had no luck. It's possible to emulate a beep entirely in software. There is a file, /dev/input/by-path/platform-pcspkr-event-spkr used for communicating PC speaker events between kernel and userspace. Most pages online just talk about writing to it to make beeps, but you can also read from it and get notified about sound events. It shouldn't be too hard to write a beeper program that reads from the device and plays to the sound card. There's an older softbeep program available on the net, but it uses an LD_PRELOAD hack. That's kind of a dubious practice and it's not guaranteed to work all the time. Reading sound events from the kernel device under /dev/input should even allow me to simulate the Speakup beeps that are made when reviewing the screen. -- Chris Brannon Founder: Blind and Low Vision Unix Users Group (https://blvuug.org/).
