Today just do this: On CentOS 5.6 go into System > Preferences > Sound, click on the "System Beep" tab, then click on "Enable System Beep". No pitch control there though.

I *think* I've got it: my manager suggested pavucontrol, but the only place I found that was a repo he'd rather I didn't use. Then I tried playing, again, with kmix from the panel, and this time I went to configure it, and tried adding the control for IEC958I; I mute that, and it seems to be quiet, and the speakers are working. mark "system-config-soundcard is too complicated, I guess..." ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Actually, I would like to activate that motherboard beeper too. I wrote a program years ago, before I had any sound card on my MS-Dos PC to generate something on it. You could vary the frequency (tone) and length of beep and that just suited an experiment I was doing. I don't know how to do that from a current machine running any UNIX varient (CentOS, FreeBSD, etc) That information may be out there, but I haven't tried lately to dig it up.
