    Try modprobe pcspkr and printf '\a' > /dev/tty1 Commented Jan 13, 2014 at 8:31
  • I used echo -e instead of printf since it is in terminal and not C. Still it doesn't beep. Commented Jan 13, 2014 at 8:42
  • @Alex: You can use printf in various shells. Checked alsamixer? Commented Jan 13, 2014 at 8:51
  • sorry you are right. However, printf didn't work and so does the beep program. Commented Jan 13, 2014 at 8:59

    Does it beep on BOOT? As in: sure it actually has a speaker? If it has, and beep does not beep, it mostly sound slike a mute issue. You could also try with snd-pcsp as noted here. This should give an extra entry for pcsp in ALSA. If no alsamixer try amixer. Commented Jan 13, 2014 at 9:23
