Blade 1000 / Solaris 8 beeping

Sun managers,

I have one user who's productivity is reduced if he can not hear the beep
well from the internal Blade 1000 speaker. His main application uses the
beep for a lot of the user feedback. He has the speaker side facing away
from him and the unit is right beside the monitor. I noticed that the
default volume on the Blade 1000 is much lower than Ultra 60 or Ultra 10's.
I had to agree with him that it was much more difficult to hear the beep
versus our existing U10/U60's. I also noticed that the CDE audio control
does not increase the volume settings. The volume setting only allows you
to shut-off the volume.

Does anyone know if the volume on internal speaker is as high as it can be
or if this problem is a CDE/Solaris 8 or Blade 1000 hardware issue?

All else failing I will have to ask the user to re-organize his desk so the
speaker side directly faces him. The problem with that solution is that it
will increase the fan noise from the box. The system has been patched so
the fan speed is not at the maximum.

Running Solaris 8 10/00
