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.
