Even after modprobing pcspkr (and verifying that it's loaded, via

neither in a terminal window, nor or any one of the ALT-VTs, seems to
have any effect.
I know that the laptop can squawk -- it does it when I turn it on, so I
must be missing some other crucial step.
I could not get a beep from my system either. I tried a few printable
characters like on the table linked below and they printed alright using
octal.

echo -e \\044

echo -e \\064

echo -e \\007

echo -e \\176

I loaded the pcspkr module before testing. Also ctl-G produced no sound
either.
Sorry not Not much help.
