I no longer have a console beep...

It's not a huge issue, but before a recent update I had a column for my console beep volume in alsamixer.  It is now gone along with the beep.  Some people find it annoying, I use it for things, does anyone know what I can do?

Thank you in advance,
Wes

Thank you Karol.  I feel kinda stupid for not looking that up, but can you, or anyone for that matter, explain to me why my computer can no longer beep?

Edit
Also, it would appear that the beep command installed as per your suggestion does not work either. :-/

I've been using Arch for over a year and though I did get rid of that damn beep on my box I still don't get all the issues regarding system beep, so, unfortunately, I don't know why it's gone.
If you updated alsa-utils, you may start looking there.

Not that I can see, any program I run from terminal  doesn't post anything in the terminal upon what would be a normal beep request.  The beep function I downloaded doesn't even post anything.

I have no idea what's a 'normal beep request'.
What's the output of

beep

when run in e.g. xterm?
