"Terminal beep" also includes audible notifications from programs such as nedit
and mozilla, e.g. search term not found. Affected terminals are xterm and the console; I
haven't experimented with others. What I'm looking for is the sound issued by
that piezoelectric thing half the population hates- I don't want it from HDA (which
doesn't seem to work either, but I'm ok with that part).

It's not exclusively a terminal thing (noted above), although that's what it's
historically associated with. Sorry for the ambiguity.

Anyway, the trouble is this: the beeps work as expected until snd-hda-intel is loaded.
Then they're irrevocably gone, recoverable only by a reboot. I've tried mixers
and beep_mode adjustments to no avail.
