I was finding the same with my Dell Studio 1557.

It may be worth using some printk calls [1] showing what frequency
value is sent to the codec, then checking with the codec datasheet -
we'll need to know which one, eg from 'dmesg' or 'alsa-info.sh' (from
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh).

We'll probably need to check the configuration registers of the beep
widget to check what divider it's using...

Thanks,
Daniel
