What's the output of %mixer speaker Beeps don't use pcm. Some audio and video players modify mixer values directly to control volume, instead using alsa/oss/pulse calls. Perhaps you used one of them. Anything weird on dmesg -a output? As a workaround, if you are using xterm under X, Ctrl+MIddle Mouse button shows a menu where you can enable visual beep. Other terminals could have similar mode. --- --- Eduardo Morras
