pcspkr loaded, but no bell

Hi, if I turn on the computer, the PC buzzer does beep one time, so it does work for the POST, but the terminal (ROXTerm, with audible bell enabled) is silent, it doesn't beep anymore after using the Arch install from my old PC with my new PC. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ lsmod | grep pcspkr pcspkr 16384 0 [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ printf "\abeep! \n" beep! The module is loaded, but nothing, no audible bell. I'm out of ideas. Maybe I'm unable to see the forest for the trees, I still suffer from the after-effects of a COVID infection I had a few days back. Is this a known issue with some new mobos? Am I missing something? Regards, Ralf
