Sony a77 II no AF confirmation beep

I have a new Sony A77 II. When I first used it, it beeped whenever it focused, and it prevented me from taking an out-of-focus shot.

 

After a few days something changed. Now it no longer beeps, and it will take photos in as well as out of focus. When I press the shutter halfway it still auto-focuses though, and the viewfinder indicates focus. The camera and the lens are both set to auto-focus. "Audio signals" on the camera is set to "On" (toolbox menu 1). I have tried this with a Tamron lens, as well as with the Sony lens that came with my older a57.

 

I assume I have changed some menu setting inadvertently, but I have gone through the menus backwards and forwards several times, and I cannot see any setting to fix this. Can somebody enlighten me?

The mirror is working fine. Remember that I can take photos, as long as I remember to check the viewfinder to ensure the camera has focused.

 

What do you mean by micro adjustment?

 

I have now reset the camera to factory defaults, without any change. If it was just the beep I'd say it's a faulty beeper. However, there is also the problem that the camera lets me take out-of-focus shots.
