I use unraid to power a small desktop NAS appliance (like synology, qnap, etc.) so I power it off and on  a lot, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the internal speaker beep so I can know when the array has started without guessing or logging into the web UI. I tried the shell command 'beep' which does nothing and 'modprobe pcspkr' which didn't help and I'm not sure is even necessary on this version of Linux.  I don't know how the whole sound system works, so maybe there aren't the right drivers for my motherboard? Has anyone else gotten their internal PC speaker beeping?

(Before anyone asks, the speaker itself is plugged into the motherboard correctly and working. I know this since I set the motherboard to beep on boot and it does so.)

beep

 

That works on my system with 6.5.3.

 

Here's advanced beepage:

 

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

Hmm, if beep works out of the box for you then it might be a motherboard driver issue. I'll wait a few days to see if anyone else has any ideas, then mark this topic solved.
