I had also checked that, and alsamixer says that PCbeep is not mutted. By the way all my sound system seems to work. Curiously, running emacs in a console, through the command "emacs -nw", makes the PCbeep work !! I simply would like it to work ALSO in it's X window, as I usually use it. Right now, I really don't see why PC beep doesn't work for me in emacs. Frédéric.
