does this thing have an azalia(4)? because with at least some, the "beep" volume and mute is controlled through the mixer. it should be unmuted by default, but the volume could be low. but then this also depends on the codec ... I didn't see a dmesg in this thread. if you do have an azalia(4), please also include the output of 'mixerctl -v'. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
