I recognized the following: If I boot the Debian CD on the wirtsystem a audible signal is played if the boot menu appears. If I boot the CD in the virtual KVM machine, the audible bell is not played. I hear the beep if I am in the bash of the wirtsystem and press the backspace key on the start of the line. The PC speaker works therefore. How can i configure KVM so that the PC speaker also works in the VM? The environment variable QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa is set and I run KVM with the option -soundhw all. Thank you very much for your help in advance. Simon
