apcupsd says that my battery is still good (100% charged, 32 minutes est
runtime) and the last "event" was on 10/13 (Low Line Voltage).
I just checked, and the sound is being output through my computer's
sound card's speakers, though that motherboard has integrated audio and
I think it is set up to do "pc speaker" through the computer's external
speakers.
