Hi, sorry for the late answer.. but I have many work problems :)

well, that's my config:
Thinkpad T61-766418G

i have the latest bios found on website

Version: 7LETB7WW (2.17 )

I try with a:

# for i in `seq 0 17` ; do echo $i > /proc/acpi/ibm/beep; sleep 1  ;done


but I can't hear no beep from my speaker...

I can hear a "acute" default beep  (i.e. when i press tab for
autocomplention) only if I enable CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP in my kernel
config.. otherwise I can't hear any sound.
(PS: every other sound-related task works fine.. only beeps are missing)

how can I resolve it?
