    SOLVED : No system bell?

    Has the PC speaker driver been disabled in the latest kernels? Since installing 9.10 the system bell (aka beep) has not worked. I notice that the KDE System Notifications has an entry for Beep that works, but unfortunately the volume of the file KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg is very low.

    Apart from editing the file to increase the volume, is there any other way to restore the old system bell/beep sound?

    I have PC Beep slider as one of possible sliders in Mixer (the speaker icon in System Tray) and I had the beep sound so loud, that I have muted it.

      It is currently blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. You can remove the blacklisting by editing the file:
      Code:
      kdesudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
      and look for the line:
      Code:
      # ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
      # nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
      blacklist pcspkr
      You can either remove the "blacklist pcspkr" line or comment it out like:
      Code:
      # ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
      # nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
      #blacklist pcspkr

        It is currently blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
        I have it blacklisted too, but I still can hear the pc beep (ugly and loud noise) as I wrote above, but now I am not sure if we are talking about the same sound.
