I ran across, somewhere on the web, the "alsamixer" command and even ran it (that's my kind of app - colors and shapes in a console). I saw "PCSpeaker" there, and even turned up the volume, but that didn't get me any console beep. Well, I just had a look at it again after reading your post. This time, I noted that certain of the items listed there had an "off" flag by them - among these the PCSpeaker. I toggled that flag and - voila! - system speaker! So, it woiks, it woiks! I just would never have guessed that alsa was something that governs the PC's speaker - I thought that was a separate "low level" (however that parses out in my benighted understanding of these things) item. Can anyone help clarify this for me? Anyway, thanks to all for input on this - it's now fixed (provided the settings I did stick).
