I'm trying to get the system speaker to beep and need a little help. I've compiled pcspkr.ko using the same kernel version. I copy the file to /lib/modules/2.6.31.6-unRAID/kernel/drivers/input/misc, but I get the following error when trying to modprobe the driver...

depmod -a
modprobe pcspkr
FATAL: Error inserting pcspkr (/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-unRAID/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko): Device or resource busy

 

Is this device compiled in unRaid already?

We have been able to "beep" for a while.

Just to be sure, beep command in a bash script is how it's done?

 

Maybe I turned off the PC speaker in the bios.

 

thx

The only BIOS option was in the integrated peripherals menu for "On board Audio". After enabling and rebooting...I still get no beeps and bops. I'm guessing it's only for the motherboard sound not the PC speaker.

 

PC speaker noob question, Did I not remove/add some jumper? Why can't I beep  

 

[Edit] Looks like there are pins for the case speaker see near SATA connectors

Did you physically hook up the case speaker to the speaker ports on the motherboard?

 

BriT: nope, I thought the noise maker was on the MB these days. Will look into this tonight.

Some motherboard have them, others don't. Taking a quick glance at the NewEgg pics, I don't see what looks to be an onboard speaker anywhere. They're typically small round devices.

 

 

You don't have an onborad speaker.

 

You must hoocked a speaker like those

lol,

 

when I first read this post I thought: Maybe he just doesn't have a PC speaker connected to his motherboard...

 

 

btw, I found some cool PC speaker beep melodies wich you can put in your "go" script to let you know (in a cool way) when your array is online...

 

Here's one:

beep -f 659 -l 460 -n -f 784 -l 340 -n -f 659 -l 230 -n -f 659 -l 110 -n -f 880 -l 230 -n -f 659 -l 230 -n -f 587 -l 230 -n -f 659 -l 460 -n -f 988 -l 340 -n -f 659 -l 230 -n -f 659 -l 110 -n -f 1047-l 230 -n -f 988 -l 230 -n -f 784 -l 230 -n -f 659 -l 230 -n -f 988 -l 230 -n -f 1318 -l 230 -n -f 659 -l 110 -n -f 587 -l 230 -n -f 587 -l 110 -n -f 494 -l 230 -n -f 740 -l 230 -n -f 659 -l 460
