Comment 7 for bug 486154

I'm having the same problem on a Presario 2100 running 32-bit Karmic. Running `modprobe pcspkr` enables beeping from the ttys, but Pulse Audio continues to handle the system bell for X. Please let me know if you need more hardware info from me, but this really looks like a software issue to me.

One further solution that doesn't work: Several guides suggest that one can get Pulse Audio to handle the system bell by loading the 'module-x11-bell' module (using `pactl load-module`). However, I don't seem to have this module loaded by default -- it doesn't show up in `pactl list`. FWIW, I can load this module, getting it to show up in `pactl list`, and then unload it, but this doesn't change anything about the system bell.
