Thank you very much for your reply ,
but i have to say that i have this options activated , still no pc speaker .
Rechecked. Yes, you need this option, you need the ALSA one disabled (not modular, disabled) and then the PC speaker driver option appears in its input menu where you want to enable it. Paths as given in last reply.
Yes, that would seem to be amazingly clumsily done. Perhaps there was a reason (adding alsa-devel).

Thanks for the clues. I attempted to compile a recent snapshot of alsa-driver from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/alsa-driver-hg20080516.tar.bz2
under Debian unstable, by overwriting the unpacked Debian source tarball.
The catch is that the Debian build information set up by
dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source (which is stored in /etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf)
is out of sync with the Mercurial snapshot and by compiling "all" ALSA drivers, I get the ALSA pcspkr driver installed, which causes some problems.
I'd probably need to hack /etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf based on the drivers supported by the Mercurial snapshot *minus* pcspkr to build an alsa-driver .deb based on the Mercurial snapshot.
