To bring a bit structure in the problem hunting, I will a) concentrate first on the C720 which still beeps (to eliminate the risk that the other has a hardware issue) b) let away X11, and use as test cases only: 1. it should beep on key backspace while cursor is on prompt 2. it should beep on a second ESC in editor vi 3. it should beep on the shell command: printf "\7" The C720 in question runs r292778 and beeps fine in test cases 1, 2 and 3. I produced an USB stick with a bootable system from CURRENT of tonight, r303343, with the exact same configuration: kernel GENERIC same /boot/loader.conf same /boot/device.hints same /etc/rc.conf The r303343 does fail on the above test cases on the same hardware.
