The first question: Does your computer "beep" under other circumstances? It's very likely that Linux Mint disables the beep by default. What is the result the following command produce? lsmod | grep pcspkr If pcspkr is enabled, you might want check the value of the following options with M-x describe-variable.... visible-bell ring-bell-function Best, Matt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
