terminal bell not working

Steps to Reproduce:

1. enable terminal.integrated.enablebell
2. try to echo a bell command e.g. git bash echo -n $'\a'

this has worked before, some weeks ago, even with remote ssh repository. but since some weeks, the audio bell is just gone. i then tried it with my private pc and updated to the same vscode version my work pc has running and the bell did not work either. A colleague of mine also tried it and it didnt work on his workstation either. I tried the insiders version of vscode, but actually the whole audio cues settings are missing there. why would someone disable or remove the terminal bell feature? As far as i can see, the terminal.integrated.enablebell is changed to only enable the visual bell, but not the sound bell anymore. I used this to let me know when a very-long running build is finished and this is really handy as you can focus on other work until your main work can continue. please either fix the bug or re-insert the feature

workaround for now is to set accessibility.signals.terminalBell.sound: on, but will be fixed shortly

I still have to use the workaround to get the audio bell working. What are some verification steps for this issue?
