What the Beep?

Try this command in the shell:
sysctl hw.snd.vpc_0db=1 -
Try this command in the shell:
sysctl hw.snd.vpc_0db=1Currently set at 45.
Change to 1 makes no difference. -
Why would you decrease it to make it louder? :o

Dunno but some guy on Google said it, and everything that is on the internet is true… :P
I also tried:```
sysctl hw.syscons.bell=* -
hw.syscons.bell is a boolean (0/1 off/on).
-
The beep command operates at a lower level than the snd device. It drives the buzzer directly. I don't think hw.snd will have any effect here.

It could be due to the difference between the old console (syscons) and VT in some setups.
At least on my APU the sound doesn't seem to be any quieter.
-
Though we set kern.vty=sc so it should be using syscons not vt, so perhaps not.
Still could be related.

Where is kern.vty=sc setting? Couldn't find it.
-
It's apparently the default for us and not explicitly set
