Ubuntu :: Can I Make Internal System Speaker Beep For A Calendar Alarm
Jul 7, 2011
I live in a crowded area so I have to use headphones almost all of the time. I just leave them plugged in so when an alarm goes off from Thunderbird or Evolution, I can't hear it. Is there a way to get some use out of my internal system speaker and have a reliable calendar-event-reminder and alarm? I'm talking about the one that will beep from inside the computer even if you have headphones plugged in.

My server is headless, so I'd like to make it beep when it finishes booting. Some posts in the forum seem to indicate this is the default setting, but my box has no sound when login prompt appears. The speaker does work since it beeps once at the start of the booting process (probably BIOS' doing). "lsmod | grep pcspkr" shows "pcspkr 7105 0", lspci shows nothing related to speaker.
Also I'd like to know how I can test the speaker from command line (remote ssh terminal), will echo -e "007" work?

I've seen in Evolution Calendar where you can have an audio alarm in addition to the pop-up and notification. For the life of me, I cannot find that now. I am Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Evolution 2.28.3 - the latest in the repository. I just can't find an option for audio alarms...

This may seem like a stupid question (if not completely ridiculous ), but I was wondering if there's a way to configure audio events so that I can use a wav/ogg sound instead of the PC speaker's default beep for small events like hitting backspace in a text editor when it's the beginning of the document (or any other illegal keyboard action), or in Wine applications when it calls for an "asterisk" sound (it just beeps the PC speaker).
I've looked at similar threads, but they mainly just talk about either the beeps that the machine does when it boots up, or simply turning off the beeping completely. What I want to do is substitute the beeps (that are caused by the OS) for an actual sound that's played through the ALSA/OSS/whatever audio device.

i'm running Ubuntu 10.04 server and want to turn on the pc-speaker warning-beep.I commented out the line in /etc/modprobe.d blacklist.conf:
#blacklist pcspkr
The beep is now working for root. But somehow it won't work if i log in as a normal user. (i don't know why, but if i install beep the beep-command works for all users...unfortunately beep seems not to make a warning sound in all cases so this is no solution for me)

I have a HP Compaq dc5750 desktop pc, which has a internal speaker for audio playback. My problem is that I can only get audio from this speaker, when I plug something into the rear jack stick, the sound still comes out of the internal speaker. I have tried to install alsamixer and unmuted AUX and Line IN, and increased volume to 100%. Sound is working, but only on internal speaker!.

I've got a laptop running OpenSuse 11.1/KDE 4.2. I've got sound working just fine (can play music, etc), but whenever there's a system alert (like when I get a new email in Thunderbird), I hear a loud BEEP, as if it's coming from the PC speaker.

linux kernel 2.6, Sklackware 12.0. I have the suspicion that the internal pc speaker does not work. Is there a linux application to beep the speaker? Or perhaps somebody could send me a small script to make it beep.

I've got a final revision of the G4 Mac mini, the 1.5GHz model, dual booting 10.04 LTS and OS X. One of the issues I've had is that the internal speaker doesn't work under Linux, or so it's been reported on various post and sites. It turns out it's a simple matter of flipping some ALSA control options. With an ALSA mixer you must enable both the Speaker and the Headphone to get audio to play over the internal speaker. It will still play over the external headphones/speakers if they are still plugged in. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the ALSA, OSS, PCM or snd_powermac drivers or just something setup wonky in the configs. I've used both GNOME ALSA Mixer GUI and the alsamixer command line tool to do this. The alsamixer tool will mostly work in an X-term, as the F-keys don't pass though. It is fully functional on a console login. I also noticed that audio plays back per-user. When I switch from X to a console he sound is cut off, and when I get logged in as the same user the audio comes right back in.

I'm a new user of "Debian Squeeze", using the testing repositories, and it's de first time that I post in this forum. I'm very happy to become a member of Debian comunity. Well, I want to change the "beep" sound of the internal speaker to another sound. I mean to any sound on my external speakers. I've searched about it but I haven't found anything useful.

Running FC12 on Dell optiplex 745, Intel's 82801H and using Pulse (did not change anything from fresh install).
Sound works great, but for some reason, I can not disable the internal speaker that sits on the motherboard. meaning, if I play something it comes out from the audio output in the back (its going to amplifier) and also from the friggin internal speaker, a bit annoying...
I've been installing all kind of pulse management tools, can't find how to disable this.
didn't find anything in the board's BIOS.
I don't see pcskpr loaded (I guess its not used anymore).

I am having trouble getting my internal speaker to work on openSuSE 11.2. These are the symptoms and my experiences to date. When I boot my machine the internal speaker emits a beep. On my other machines, I get a similar sound when I press Escape in vi (in command mode). It is this beep from the internal speaker that I am having trouble with. Looking around on the web I see that it is reported that the module snd-hda-intel can interfere with the internal speaker. When I unload this module using rmmod, I do get the beep from the internal speaker. When I reload it, the beep does not sound. Some of the reports seem to attribute the problem to a configuration option for the sound module called "digital beep" that needs to be enabled.
Using "make -C O=`pwd` cloneconfig" on my kernel sources, I see that the option CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP is set to y. Also affected are things like printf ( "a" ) and sending Control-G to "cat" or "cat > /dev/console". what do I need to do get the internal speaker to sound while at the same time retaining the full capabilities of the sound system?

Just installed sid on a new system and I'm having a problem with pulseaudio.I have a motherboard with built-in Realtek audio, and the system should use that for everything except the system bell, which goes through the internal PC speaker that's connected to the motherboard.It works that way on the console. If I type C-g in Emacs, the pc speaker beeps, same with bash completion etc, while aplay will play wav files through the external speakers connected to the sound card. It's perfect.
Now in X, pulse doesn't know what to do. It defaults to the external sound card speakers, so they play all "normal" sounds (like music files) but when I type C-g in Emacs, there's a drip sound that comes out of the speakers. The internal PC speaker doesn't beep at all.I'm using GNOME 3, and I like it, so I can't just purge pulse because it wants to take GNOME with it. If I go to setup > sound, "Line Out - Built-in Audio" is selected, but I have another option for "Analog Output - pcsp" ... that's the snd_pcsp module for the internal speaker. If I select that, it plays the same sound files but through the internal speaker. So when I do C-g in emacs, the beep does come from the internal speaker, but it's not the normal beep you hear in the console -- it's actually the same ogg (or wav or whatever) file that makes the drip sound from the speakers! And worse, if I sleect the pcsp option in setup, it uses the internal speaker for EVERYTHING - including playing audio music files, watching YouTube, whatever! And naturally the sound is very horrible and fuzzy.
Is there any way to tell pulse that I want to use my motherboard's soundcard for everything but the beep, just like in the console?

I am not positive that this is the right subforum for this post. It is technically a programming question but I am not sure if this is the best place for bash scripting questions. Anyhow, I have been having trouble getting up in the morning. I am a pretty good morning person and once I am up, I am good to go. The problem is getting out of bed. Traditional alarms have just not cut it in the past; there is always an easy way to shut them off and go back to sleep.
Recentliesh, I decided to try to make an alarm script in bash that would be more successful in getting my lazy behind out of bed. I am a newbie bash scripter at best so my attempts have been very simple but have not cut it so far. Here are some examples:
[Code]....
The above script was the version of my bash alarm. It will not stop ringing until I input that ridiculous phrase. The big issue with this script was that I would input the phrase quickly and go back to sleep. It was however, much more successful than traditional alarm clocks. Another obvious pitfall was that even though control-c'ing the process would not work, the terminal could be closed and that would be the end of it. I'll get back to that issue. Here is my second attempt:

I've been using my girlfriend's Mackbook Pro and really like the beep sound when pressing backspace at a command prompt and really would like to have it on my ubuntu. However, I've checked "Terminal bell" option in the profile settings, but there is still no beep sound. What am I missing here?

I need an alarm / reminder system for all the crap I have going on. I want one that will pop up and remind me of a given task. Sounds, bleeps, rings, bells, etc., would also be great. Doesn't evolution have such a thing? IF not, what about online options. But I really prefer sg on this computers so I can still get the reminders when I am offline.

I have a HP Laptop with Ubuntu Hardy installed. The system beep makes rapid clicking sound at login window that slowly dissipate and clicking that, so far I can only fix by rebooting, when I play music, reboot after hibernating, and when waking up from suspend. I've turned the system beep off in System/Preferences/Sound but it doesn't do anything.

First off, I'm completely new to bash scripting so forgive me if I make any egregious errors. I'm trying to make pop-up reminders for the simple calendar program when. This is what I have so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# set the time format for when
#current="$(date +%I:%M %p)"
current="$(date +%-l%p)"
today=~/.when/today
[Code]....
When I run the script, gxmessage pops up and displays the correct information, but it does so for each line in "~/.when/today" that contains a time that matches the current system time (which would be three pop-ups at 10PM, according to the example). I want it to display the information only once. How can this be accomplished? Is a while loop even the right job for this?

I like the system beep because I can tell checkgmail to beep when an email comes, that way my speakers don't have to be on.Anyways, I did a fresh install of Karmic the other day. Something is being weird with me when I try to re-enable the beep. Karmic blacklisted pcspkr in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf . Here's what happens:I leave "blacklist pcspkr" in blacklist.conf and restart. I do "sudo modprobe pcspkr" and then "beep", and it beeps. Good.
Then I comment out "blacklist pcspkr" in blacklist.conf and restart. I do "beep". Nothing. I do "sudo modprobe pcspkr" and then "beep". Nothing. I do "lsmod | grep pcspkr". It's listed there as it should be. I check with "sudo grep pcspkr /var/log/dmesg" and find no errors.

Curses's 'beep' errors. I loaded pcspkr.ko but couldn't get a sound out of my speaker. I tried sending a KDMKTONE via ioctl to /dev/tty0, which returns success but still makes no sound. I have all mixer parameters set to 100%. I can make sound with mplayer, sox, etc. Mr Vojtech Pavlik recommended I try evdev, which I built and loaded. It creates an event for pcspkr in /dev/input. How do I use that to make a sound on my speaker?

after installing linux mint 7, I have been getting one beep on shutdown, a google search on this came back as a ram problem...but then i ran across a bunch of posts on ubuntu forums about one beep on shutdown, with an older version of ubuntu, grep does return some paramter errors, but in the mint bug report page those are listed as : benign ignore. it doen't bother me in the least, as long as it isn't a warning of impending hardware failure.
