After inserting the module I have a beep in a tty and in gnome-terminal, 
as root, but KDE apps refuse to beep.
I have tried everything I can think of, all the settings I can find.

If I "run command" from the main menu; `echo $'\a'` I get a beep but so 
far that is it. In konsole if I run the same command all I get is a bell 
icon no beep no matter what the system bell settings are adjusted to in 
konsole configuration or in Control Center bell configuration.

It may be very Pavlovian but I sure miss those beeps!
