Thread: No system beep/bell on UNE Aspire One D250

hello,

i'm trying enable system beep on aspire 1 d250 running une (10.04).

have enabled audible bell in gconf-editor @ /apps/metacity/general/audible_bell

have bell enable in gnome-terminal

have bell enabled in ccsm (compiz settings manager).

have system sounds enabled on gnome-volume-control

have:

code:

sudo modprobe pcspkr

i have "visual beep" working, audio not.

ideas?

thanks,
narnie

well, i'm not sure if have system speaker on netbook. i'm guessing don't.

work-around, found link (http://superuser.com/questions/22767...beep-in-ubuntu)

essentially, install vorbis-tools beep sound , command line tool ogg123:

code:

sudo aptitude install vorbis-tools

then do:

code:

mkdir ~/.xkb nano ~/.xkb/xkbevd.cf

putting in file:

sounddirectory="/usr/share/sounds/"
soundcmd="ogg123 -q"

bell() "ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg"

then run:

code:

xkbevd -bg

(btw, -bg "background" starts daemon)

start @ every boot configuring gnome-session-properties or put in .profile running :

code:

echo <<eof >> ~/.profile if [ -n "$display" ];   xkbevd -bg fi eof

hope helps someone,
narnie
