I fear I cannot be of much help here. The most recent pieces of Intel hardware I have at home is a late 1996 Pentium MMX and a 1991 486DX33, and both my 2010 era AMD A6 boards (MSI and ASUS) and my 2022 era AMD 5600X board (ASUS) beep just fine. This looks to me to be a question for someone who actually knows what is supposed to be happening in the hardware, firmware, and kernel, which is not me. |

Looks like it is really down to the BIOS. Since replacing my board with ASRock Z790 Nova WiFi, it works! 🔈 🎶 👍🏼 These boards have the buggy symptoms:
If anyone stumbles across this in future - you could try contacting the motherboard's technical support and hope it lands in front of an engineer who can understand the problem. Otherwise, I didn't really get to the bottom on how (and if) it can be fixed. I saw a feature for the Linux kernel, but ACPI tables look like it requires someone to really know what they're doing: |

I might be the one of the few people who still like hearing an audible feedback coming from inside a desktop PC!
Since my motherboard (CPU socket) got damaged months ago, it was time to upgrade. To much dismay, the PC speaker isn't working as expected under this new board/generation. After troubleshooting, I found that passing
acpi=offto the Linux kernel parameters makes it work, albeit breaks other stuff too (like GPU, not a good solution). That helps narrow down to being ACPI related, since POST and bootloader beeps (non-ACPI OS stages) are working.This is a MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4 motherboard with a Intel Core i5-13600K CPU. It runs Arch Linux so it has the latest Linux kernel (or LTS). Tried contacting MSI Support and put some video slides together describing the problem for them. Didn't get much help; they concluded it's not a BIOS bug, and I should contact the Linux official. 🐧

Slide 4 is what it sounds like - a noise when the speaker would be "on" and noise again when it's "off", without any frequency emitted.
I suspected BIOS bug because the kernel log complains of many
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Failure creating named objectbut they're about XHCI. To see if it was just this board, I tried my father's ASUS ROG STRIX B760-A GAMING WIFI D4 (with identical CPU) and found it has the same symptoms - but at least doesn't haveACPI BIOS Error (bug)in the kernel logs.So... kind of stumped. Really unsure where in the software/hardware stack things have regressed to feel informed of where to go to get it fixed (and learn something new along the way). If anyone out there can shed knowledge (or a patch!) on whether it's likely the kernel, PIT, DMA/IRQ, BIOS or chipset, that'll be much appreciated! Thanks!
Or, if you have a LGA 1700 motherboard and
beepjust works, be good to hear from you too!Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
