Hello, afaik there are some issues using alsa & friends. Maybe it's that kind of problem you're facing. (I don't understand what is the beep you mentionned) Sound works well on my U5 but only when I enable the sparcaudio drivers and with no soundcard support in the kernel. Moreover I use aumix and audioctl to control the mixer. And only few players do their job (hum .. xmms works only when I launch gqmpeg just before). I posted an answer few months ago for the same "sound-on-u5" issue. I might be wrong and not up-to-date but I hope it will help you. For further hints ... as far as I remember I wrote some here: http://ginfo.egim-mrs.fr/article.php3?id_article=36
