Note:  This command is for the PS/2 only.

DESCRIPTION

The sound command controls the volume of the sound output (the console bell).
The system startup process sets the sound volume to on.  You can run sound only
from the console (/dev/console).

FLAGS

You must select at least one flag from the following two groups of flags or,
optionally, one flag from each of the two groups.  The first group of flags
sets the volume of all sound output on or off:

-h, -l or -m
          Turn the volume on.

-o        Turns the volume off.

Note:  The h (high), m (medium) and l (low) settings are for RT compatibility
       only.

The second group of flags is for RT compatibility only.  They control whether
click sounds are produced.  On the PS/2, the click is mechanically produced and
therefore cannot be controlled by the sound command.

-c  Ignored

-q  Ignored.
