[arch-proaudio] Play soundfile through PCspeaker (userland preferred)
Hey hey, I'd like to play sound through the PC speaker, on a system not running the RT kernel. The current version of the standard ARCH kernel doesn't contain the snd-pcsp ALSA module to do that. At any rate I'd prefer a solution which would work in userland alone. This is just necessary as a support functionality, so doesn't need any extras. :) Any suggestions anyone?

I'm not so sure, what you mean. Are you referring to the pcspkr module? I can't find the module you're referring to at all.
Also, pcspkr is available in all kernels: sudo pacman -Ql linux linux-rt linux-hardened |grep pcspkr linux /usr/lib/modules/4.14.11-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko.xz linux-rt /usr/lib/modules/4.14.8-rt9-3-rt/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko.xz linux-hardened /usr/lib/modules/4.14.11-1-hardened/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko.xz It might just not be loaded? Check your /etc/modprobe.d/* (for blacklisting) and if it doesn't get loaded automatically (which it should), you can add it to /etc/modules-load.d/ or load it on the spot `sudo modprobe pcspkr` Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de
