I am running Debian Stable Linux which is otherwise working very well. I have installed beep package with command apt install beep. There were no errors. However, the command beep is not working. Following are the errors:
$ beep
beep: Error: Could not open any device
$ BEEP_LOG_LEVEL=999 beep

There are a number of pages on the net discussing this issue, though mostly are for Ubuntu. However, their solutions, including sudo modprobe pcspkr and sudo usermod -aG input iuser did not correct the error.
Where is the problem and how can it be solved?
