Well, my T60 is using ACPI and APM. And, as I change the volume with
the button on the top of the keyboard, it beeps softer/louder as the
volume changes; or it turns the sound off completely. When I use it to
turn the volume off, there is no sound from anything. When I set it
loud, every sound I hear is loud, including beeps.
I have done nothing with the ACPI settings -- Mostly, because I just do
not understand what they do. e.g., What is the "remote control package"
that you mention? What do you do that creates a beep that is not
controlled by the tool?
