I have a system running Solaris 10 10/09 x86, using an AMD CPU and
the ATI chipset. This is the audio device:

pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x14 function 0x02: vendor 0x1002 device 0x4383
ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)

`modinfo' shows that it's using the audiohd driver. When I play a
flash video, I hear audio in the speakers. However, `tput bel' in a
gnome-terminal window is silent. Other applications that are supposed
to produce a beep are also silent. Gnome-terminal does have the
terminal bell enabled.

What could be wrong? I'm using a Sun type 6 USB keyboard if that matters.

The audible bell, i.e. '\007', is passed on to the keyboard and not
to the audiohd driver. The bell of the keyboard can be turned on or
off using the kb(7m) interface (KBD_CMD_BELL and KBD_CMD_NOBELL).
If you are using X windows, you might want to make sure that your
bell is turned on using "xset b on". If all this does not help, you
have possibly an issue with your keyboard.

Andreas.

That was it. I don't believe the type 6 USB keyboard has a beeper.
I changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this to get a beep:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
+ Option "BellDevice" "/dev/audio"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

The sound is more like a musical pop, but at least it works.
