I don't have all these files in my debian: /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf , /etc/mkinitcpio.conf , /etc/asound.conf , /etc/pulse/daemon.conf , /etc/pulse/default.pa . BUt I found something else. After
Code:

modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-hda-intel

(or
Code:

modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

)
dmesg outputs the following line:
Code:

[440523.664008] input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input14

Sorry for the config files. I'm on Arch so the filesystem is set up a bit differently.

You can make a modprobe.conf file and put those lines in it.

Does your beep work after you do this?

Sorry for absence for some time.
Do you suggest to copy all the content of your files to my modprobe.conf? As I understood, it has certain syntax which does not coincide with your commands. I think every line should be something like
Code:

options module_name your_lines
,
but what exactly should I put instead of module_name?

You would put the following in your new modprobe.conf:

Code:

blacklist pcspkr

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel vendor=hp

It's probably safe to ignore the other files since they are ALSA and PulseAudio defaults.

This does not help or even makes things worse. Namely, if I include
Code:

options snd-hda-intel vendor=hp
(which is strange, the laptop in question is asus, I don't think it has anything to do with hp), then beep does not work, and also aplay and alsamixer don't work.
If I don't include vendor=hp, leaving only
Code:

blacklist pcspkr

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

,
aplay and alsamixer work (i. e. they produce no errors, aplay really plays wav files, and alsamixer's "master" control seems to change volume, but "beep" control does not seem to help), but ther is no beep in xfce terminal and in ctrl-alt-f1 terminal.

You should try

Code:

options snd-hda-intel vendor=asus
Or even

Code:

options sdn-hda-intel vendor=auto
Mine is hp because I have a HP dv6 laptop.

With each of this options alsamixer and aplay stop working, just like if vendor=hp.
