Hello Matt (and thank you for your time!),
Typing $ sudo lsmod | grep pcspkrin my terminal does not give anything. It simply shows the next prompt (if I am using the correct terminology - I am new in emacs and Linux!).
I was able to change the value of the visible bell but I was not able to find a corresponding option for the ring-bell-function. More specifically, the former comes up with a menu/button inside the buffer, which, if selected, allows one to modify value of the visible-bell. The latter (i.e., the ring-bell-function) does not offer such an option.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Maybe it is the distribution that disables the audible bell.
Many thanks once more,
Evita
