No beep on Fedora 40 laptop

[Fry-kun]

After installing beep & setting up permissions, it runs just fine -- but doesn't make any sound :(

$ beep --debug

"Speaker" in alsamixer is not muted, set to 100

Other sounds are working fine.

I'm fairly sure it's not a bug in beep, but maybe you have some idea of what's going on..

I remember I once had success on some laptop by fiddling with some alsamixer setting, even though it should not have made a difference. Could have been a mute-unmute sequence, or changing a slider a bit and then back to its original value, or was there a thing where "muted" meant unmuted and vice versa?

However, that was with hardware from 15+ years ago. I do not remember whether it was one of the Thinkpads or the Samsung Netbook.

More detailed information about your hardware than just "laptop" could be helpful to someone. Even though I am about at my wit's end.
