Comment 22 for bug 414795

I made the mistake of upgrading my office computer to "Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l "
and the command "beep" (beep-1.2.2) stopped working, although the speaker or membrane
certainly works. At home I runt "Ubuntu 9.04 \n \l" and "beep works without problems.

I have tried removing the line "blacklist pcspkr" from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
but "beep" still fails.

My office computer does not have speakers, therefore "beep" is very useful for me.
I would like to know whether there any way of circumventing this problem
without having reinstall my older version of Ubuntu? Perhaps by installing
an older version of "beep" or an older version the audio system?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.
