There was a fix regarding beep frequency. Not necessarily. Based on the OP's original post, as well as his mails to the LKML (Google the subject line to find them), he has a desktop system with external powered speakers connected to a sound card, and also a small PC speaker inside the system case. He wants to hear the beeps coming out of the small speaker, since the external speakers (and/or sound card) are not always turned on. For that, try turning off SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP. (Regarding the beep frequency issue, the patch in 2.6.31-rc1 works for all HDA codecs *EXCEPT* sigmatel/idt. For sigmatel/idt, please see the patch in bug #0004556.) --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu
