This works on my computer.
I guess that is because I have a small speaker attached to the motherboard
speaker port so I can hear POST alerts. The sound did not go through the PC
sound device (like my HDMI card).
My more modern laptop does not beep when using: echo -e "\a"
I think many modern motherboards have stopped including the POST speaker port
and speaker. How many people remember when this speaker port was the only sound
system in their computer, lol.
