Bug ID: 219904
Summary: pc speaker not working (just pop's/click's) on intel
chipsets gen 6, 7 and probably more
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
Hardware: Intel
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: Platform_x86
Assignee: drivers_platform_x86@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
Reporter: tobias.diendorfer@gmail.com
Regression: No

The internal pc speaker just pop's/click's when ill try to play sound, with ex.
beep command. It does'nt matter which frequency or duration, the issue is
always here.

* The pcspkr module is loaded.
* The issue occurs on Unraid v7+ (slackware with kernel 6.6.78) and also
ubuntu 24.04.
* The issue is also present in windows.

The issue goes away when you put the device to standby and wake it from
standby.
That's really weird!
