no more system bell after squeeze upgrade



I don't have the system/terminal beep (bell) in Gnome anymore after
upgrading to squeeze.

curty@einstein:~$ lsmod | grep pcspkr

pcspkr                  1699  0 

curty@einstein:~$ xset -q

(snippy)

bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100


No bell/beep in the console either.

Alsamixer has a 'Beep' channel I've unmuted, but it seems to turn on a
sound card beep (though only in the console), but I want the internal
motherboard beep I had before, the annoying one that gets on people's
nerves and just about everybody else tries to turn off.

I've already spent over an hour on this idiotic exercise in futility. Over
an hour has not been sufficient.

Helpful ideas welcome if anyone has any.
