No Thomas, that is absolutely not what we are looking for here. Aside from having to install: gconf-editor and dconf-editor and gnome-control-center just to accomplish what I could have with "pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg bell.ogg" these are samples that play through the sound card and out the external speakers, which is not what we need.
We want that old, I mean OLD scratchy beep that's emitted from that obscure black cylinder attached to the motherboard. It's that beep most people hate, that beep with no volume control. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599599 Title: System beep broken (again) in Xenial Xerus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1599599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
