This might seem a bit silly, but first things first, are you certain you can play wav files on your linux-box?  the file is at

 .  open up a shell and pull it onto your box with

wget

If so, post what distribution of linux you're using (e.g. Mandrake, RedHat, Knoppix).  I suspect this is going to be a linux/pc thing moreso than a Konquerer/IE thing.

Good luck,

Mark

Hmm....if only I had my linux box here at work to play....so I guess the next step is to determine how to make a linux box beep from a webbrowser and then see if Moodle is doing that. I'll look around a little today and get back to you.
