Is it only me or is your ding also silent?

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

as in the subject.  I defined

(defun system-beep ()
  (call-process "beep"))

which beeps, but M-: (ding) does not produce any sound here.  I have
fresh Emacs compiled from sources on fresh Arch GNU/Linux.  Is it
because ring-bell-function is nil?  In the old days, C-g or M-: (ding)
used to beep!

Best,
