Sure, everyone else tries to get rid of their beeper speaker, but I must be old school or something.
My Inspiron 1520 has: Audio devices: 0: STAC92xx Analog (DUPLEX) Mixers: 0: SigmaTel STAC9205 and uses the snd_hda_intel driver, but as soon as it is inserted, I lose the beeper speaker. Yes, pcspkr is modprobed into the kernel. I am currently using "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m44 probe_mask=1" but I've tried this with various options (ref, etc). I have tried various kernels between 2.6.18 (debian backported) and 2.6.23. There is no mixer control that looks like a pc beeper speaker control, like on my old Inspiron 4000, using the maestro3 alsa driver. Similarly, no switches bring the pc speaker back. Before snd_hda_intel is inserted, the pc speaker is very loud and obviously can't be turned down because there is no mixer at this stage. It obviously comes out of the same speakers as the sound driver controls. Similarly, when resuming from a suspend, _without having rmmodded the sound drivers_, the pc speaker exists in its very loud state. But as soon as I do something involving the sound card or mixer -- play a sound, reduce the volume, etc, the pc speaker immediately goes away. Obviously snd_hda_intel is turning off some mixer hardware somewhere. Does these lines from /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 tell me that the pc beeper speaker is not muted, or is this something entirely different?
