Description Vsevolod Volkov 2023-07-28 16:57:45 UTC
When I try to beep the PC speaker with "echo -e '\a'" or beep command, I hear only clicking sound coming from the PC speaker. It happens after changing motherboard to MSI PRO B760M-A WiFi. Both modules pcspkr and snd_pcsp give the same result. There is no problems with the hardware because speaker beeps fine in:
- BIOS when enabled beep on boot;
- GRUB with 'play' command;
- DOS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe pcspkr (or "modprobe snd_pcsp")
2. echo -e '\a' (or "beep")
Actual Results:  
Clicking sound coming from the PC speaker.

Expected Results:  
Beep sound coming from the PC speaker.
