PC speaker dead in 2.5.40?
Configuring a kernel with Sound support with either OSS or ALSA, I still get nothing from my PC speaker. Works fine under 2.4.18.

Look under all the submenus in the Input section of "menuconfig" for the speaker entry and enable it.
There's a good technical reason why the speaker is an input device, but hiding it in the menus is *bad*.

Send me a patch that fixes this - if you know how.

IMHO the problem istn't to make a patch, it's more a "policy" question:
The problem is that from the point of view of a _user_ it's quite surprising to see the speaker support at the input devices - and if the speaker doesn't work you wouldn't search for an option under "Input device support". From a programmers point of view "Input device support" might be the best place but it will produce much confusion among many users. Is it perhaps possible to move the speaker support to "Character devices"?

Or how about putting it under "Sound"? Seems logical to me.

Okay, find the attached patch against 2.5.40 which creates a new "PC Speaker" submenu -- it's clearly labeled, and higher up on the screen when running make menuconfig.

Resend of this little patch -- vger didn't like the last one, I think. This creates a new "PC Speaker" submenu -- it's clearly marked and higher up on the "make menuconfig" screen rather than hidden away under "misc".

make menuconfig
input_device_support->misc->pc_speaker_support.
Switch it on.
