I am new to this list and no doubt this has been discussed much before, so I apologize. I've looked at the various posts about it (via google) and still have no luck. My system bell will not ring. Right after installing fedora 2 my speaker would not work, adding some lines to /etc/modprobe.conf fixed that. These lines are no longer needed for my sound card to work, maybe I have a newer kudzu now, after updating things? If I do /sbin/modinfo pcspkr it tells me: author: Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@xxxxxx> description: PC Speaker beeper driver license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.8-1.521smp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3 depends: So it would appear the pcspkr module is installed. But my understanding of this is very limited. I have sound but no bell. Any help would be much appreciated!
