System audible beep
I have tried everything with sounds on Slackware and after over a decade am at the end of it.
I have uncommented /sbin/modprobe pcspkr in rc.modules.
I have commented blacklist pcspkr in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
I have set bell-style audible in /etc/inputrc
and I still can't get echo 007 or \a or ctrl-v,ctrl-G to produce a sound on the system speaker. It does beep during boot so it is working somewhere somehow. Can someone show me how to get bash echo to produce a beep from the system speaker?
