$ dmesg | grep azalia azalia0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 "Intel 82801GB HD Audio" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 22 (irq 4) azalia0: codecs: Realtek ALC269 audio0 at azalia0 $ mixerctl | grep beep $ Looks like the 900A has a different codec that is, as you said, not connected to the system bell. -- Joe Gidi j...@entropicblur.com
