After reading this answer, the beep command successfully makes a sound.

https://askubuntu.com/a/168628/445574

But when I print the bell character, it doesn't make any.

I've already tried: https://superuser.com/questions/615839/beep-works-but-the-bell-character-makes-no-sound

Basically, printf '\a' and echo -e "\a" don't beep.

  • I have removed the blacklist pcspkr from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
  • I have entered the command sudo modprobe pcspkr
  • beep makes a sound

Just struggled with this for a few days, try this 

$ alsamixer

then scroll over to beep and turn up the volume if down, also make sure to press M to unmute it (will change it too 00 instead of MM) then give it another try make sure to unmute anything else that is need headphone, speakers hope it helps!
