SYNTAX +-----------+ +--------+ sound ---| one of |---| one of |---| | +-------+ | | +----+ | +-| -h -m |-+ +-| -c |-+ | -l -o | | -q | +-------+ +----+ Note: This command is for the PS/2 only. DESCRIPTION The sound command controls the volume of the sound output (the console bell). The system startup process sets the sound volume to on. You can run sound only from the console (/dev/console). FLAGS You must select at least one flag from the following two groups of flags or, optionally, one flag from each of the two groups. The first group of flags sets the volume of all sound output on or off: -h, -l or -m Turn the volume on. -o Turns the volume off. Note: The h (high), m (medium) and l (low) settings are for RT compatibility only. The second group of flags is for RT compatibility only. They control whether click sounds are produced. On the PS/2, the click is mechanically produced and therefore cannot be controlled by the sound command. -c Ignored -q Ignored.
