Hi Randy,

following this thread I also played with beepLoudness and also lost the
beep.
I am on an Intel macBook pro 10.5.6 using Rev 3.0.0.
When I restore the beep with set the beepLoudness to -1
the beep is completely distorted and very (scaringly) loud. I have to go to system preferences to restore the beep loudness manually and everything is
ok.
Could anyone with the above configuration please confirm this?

When I set the Alert Volume on my MacBook Pro 10.5.6 to maximum using the System Preference pane, then do 'put the beepLoudness, I get '16777472'; when I set it to minimum the beepLoudness is 0. Setting the beepLoudness to -1 gives the same results Berndt and Mark got. If I do 'set the beepLoudness to 16777472' it restores the max beep volume. But the Sound preference pane interface is not updated until I exit the Sound pane and return to it. I can set the beepLoudness to 50% like this: 'set the beepLoudness to 16777472/2'.

Hello Richmond,

I haven't followed every email of this strand, but after a quick
check I didn't see this mentioned. I apologize if I missed it or am
just stating the obvious.

If I understand what you said (see below...), you don't hear beep on
your Macs at all in Rev....

I use 2.8.1 most of the time, but also have 2.9 and 3.0 on OSX4.11.
I use beep regularly without problems. Just for "fun" I played with
beeploudness -- which as noted in the comments of the 2.8.1
documentation "has no effect on Mac OS"  -- or, for that matter OSX.

Well, the effect it had for me was to stop the beep from sounding. If
I type "beep" into the mouseUp handler of a button, I hear a "beep"
when I click the button. However, once I include set the beepLoudness
to 50 (or any number 1-100) followed by beep -- as you noted in an
earlier example,  I hear nothing.... even when I remove set the
beepLoudness from the script.

When I set the beepLoudness to -1 as noted in the comments, all is
well again with beep.

Comments:
Set the beepLoudness to -1 to use the default system setting.

The beepLoudness has no effect on Mac OS or Windows systems, and on
some Unix systems which don't allow changing the beep loudness.

take care,
randy
