Enable in Ubuntu
================
If you want some scripts to emit beeps, e.g. because you don't always have your headphones on, you first have to enable
the `pcspkr` module. This is per default disabled in Ubuntu. To enable it again, do the following:
1. open `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf` in your favorite editor (using `sudo`)
1. find these lines:
# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
# nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
blacklist pcspkr
1. comment out the last line
1. finally, do a `sudo modprobe pcspkr`
After that, you can play around with the [beep](apt://beep) program.
