I chgrp'ed and chmod'ed /dev/speaker to enable members of group "operator"
to beep the speaker.

backup:/home/james> ls -ltr /dev/speaker
crw-rw----  1 root  operator   26,   0 Aug 27 14:49 /dev/speaker
backup:/home/james> grep operator /etc/group
operator:*:5:root,james

And yet,

backup:/home/james> echo abcd >/dev/speaker
bash: /dev/speaker: Device not configured
