In fact 5, corresponding to the parameter below.

Single instances of plain
$ beep
mostly don't beep at all. I.e., bye bye mail notification, etc.

OK, in /etc/rc.local I now do
  echo 0 >| /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save

Now all the beeps get through (except the very first one after boot, but
maybe I will put a short low volume beep there in /etc/rc.local to
cover that too.)

DI>     options snd_hda_intel power_save=5 model=eeepc-901

I found
  options snd_hda_intel power_save=5
there. But why? Taking it out and rebooting shows the same 5 value in
/sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save . And shouldn't the
default be 0 to reduce aforementioned broken behavior too?
