What version are you using that is acting this way?

I just tried this and my winkeyer vers 3.1 works as I would expect. 
Setting CW TONE = 0 turns off the speaker in the keyer and setting it 
to some value - I tired CW TONE = 400 tuns the CW sidetone on in the
Winkeyer 3.1 as I would expect. 

The laptop I just tried this on is running 0.52 of trlinux.
