Hi Jeanette,

a minor pentatonic or does it play a blue note, too? And if it should
play a blue note, is it then still a pentatonic?

Joking apart, ...

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Ql brltty | grep y-tune
brltty /usr/bin/brltty-tune

To /etc/pacman.conf add

  NoExtract   = usr/bin/brltty-tune

and reinstall brltty.

Here it doesn't play anything. I'm using the bell, aka PC speaker beep
a lot, but can't here what brltty-tune plys, due to a missing tune.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ brltty-tune 
brltty-tune: missing tune

Perhaps you should add a soft link

/usr/bin/brltty-tune -> /usr/bin/true

assuming you shouldn't install /usr/bin/brltty-tune.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ man true | grep nothing
       true - do nothing, successfully

Hopefully it's the culprit.

Regards,
Ralf
