Here are two solutions that I have found to work:

(1)  When starting up X, use "xinit -c 0".  Info will explain what
     the "-c" option does.  I have a ksh alias called "x" that executes
     the mentioned command.

(2)  If you didn't do (1) above, then try "chsound -o -k > /dev/hft/0".

There should be other solutions as well.  Look at "xset", too.
