Hmm...

..Yes there is such a control and yes it is muted. When un-muting it I do
hear an ugly/scary beep from my soundcard (from the speakers). But I don't
have anything connected to the soundcard on any of my servers.

On a similar motherboard with 2.6.29 I've a "PC Speak" control which does
not do anything, at least not visible (or audible).

But I'd rather get my old good pc speaker back. One thing is the sound
card with speakers which are only sometimes on and which produces very
very bad sound when the 'beeper' control is turned on, and another is the
old good PC internal speaker with a good "beep" sound.

Thanks!
