Am I the only concerned about this? My 2.6.30 is still silent w.r.t. old good PC speaker beeps, and I wasn't able to make it to produce any sound. Yes, as pointed out by others there is a control now, in alsa, and I can hear ugly and scary beeps from my stereo speakers (when they're turned on and when the control is un-muted). But that's.. not a solution/answer to the original question... ;)
Try 2.6.31-rc1. There was a fix regarding beep frequency.
Not necessarily. Based on the OP's original post, as well as his mails to the LKML (Google the subject line to find them), he has a desktop system with external powered speakers connected to a sound card, and also a small PC speaker inside the system case. He wants to hear the beeps coming out of the small speaker, since the external speakers (and/or sound card) are not always turned on.
For that, try turning off SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP.
(Regarding the beep frequency issue, the patch in 2.6.31-rc1 works for all HDA codecs *EXCEPT* sigmatel/idt. For sigmatel/idt, please see the patch in bug #0004556.)
