[arch-general] Trouble with "system" bell

[Scott Lawrence]

I'm on a macbook, so there's no true system bell - I've installed xbelld to 
replace it. Unfortunately, I still get no bell in terminal (rxvt or xterm or 
st, using "echo -e \\a" or ^G or ^H^H^H), although running 'xkbbell' does give 
me the bell.

Searching online, I find this: 
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=883917#p883917 which seems similar 
(I tried chromium, and I do indeed get a bell there), but the solution of 
"just use the system bell" won't work for me. The visualBell effect works, but 
that's not what I'm looking for.

Any tips on what's keeping the bell from being played from terminal? I've 
tried "xset b" stuff, and I'm out of ideas.
