Tiny Core Base > Micro Core

How do I get microcore to sound a System Bell Beep?

mrstarr:
Thanks for testing echoing a bell char out on your terminal and confirming it works.  Not sure why mine isn't working :-/

Misalf:
Tiny Core booted from USB stick I can produce a beep on my tower PC but not on my netbook.
So it might be a hardware incompatibility thing.

curaga:
If you have speakers connected, OSS includes ossplay and ALSA includes aplay, both able to play wav files. Only install one sound system at a time!

mrstarr:
I have ossplay installed, I just checked from shellprompt. 
I tried "ossplay doorbell.wav" from the command line with a wav file.  ( http://soundbible.com/165-Door-Bell.html)

I get this error: 
$ ossplay doorbell.wav
/dev/dsp : no such file or directory

The sound file device is missing from /dev
You should try reinstalling OSS.
$

Trying alsa's "aplay" gives the same error...  "can't open /dev/dsp"

Doing a "ls /dev | less" I see a /dev/audio, but no /dev/dsp existing

I rebooted, tried fresh with same error, then tried reinstalling oss with AB, but AB barfs and says oss already installed

In 1969 Nasa put a man on the moon, but in 2015 I can't even make a PC speaker beep :-(  *sigh*  Still grappling with the machine and pulling out hair on a shell prompt...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55zL2xMFbBs

How do I uninstall oss and alsa (the easy way preferably)?

mrstarr:
$ cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-00 : VIA 8327 : VIA 8327 : playback 4 : capture 1
00-01 : VIA 8327 : VIA 8327 : playback 1 : capture 1
$

Googling /dev/dsp missing isn't helping much.  Give me a few more hours banging my head against this !@#$%^, and I'll kludging an AM radio parked next to the box, volume on high, trying to create sounds old school by working the CPU in different loops.  :-(
