[Systemd] Disable pesky warning beep :(

So. After the devs decided that they'd move to systemd, I dove in and installed systemd on my laptop. Configuration is nearly done, but one thing keeps bugging me: that annoying system beep. I thought pcspkr had gotten loaded somehow, but lsmod says it's not. Yet I get tons of those annoying beeps (e.g. if Firefox wants me to know that some word I'm searching for on a web page is not there).

So how do I turn this off with systemd?

I feel like I'm back running on a Pentium, somehow. Cue Weird Al Yankovich.

Re: [Systemd] Disable pesky warning beep :(

Is it actually ringing the system bell? I don't know how you turned it off previously, but I'd suggest either "xset -b" in .xinitrc, or just muting the ALSA control called "Beep" (if you have it).

Re: [Systemd] Disable pesky warning beep :(

Thanks, will check that. Previously just blacklisting/unloading the pcspkr module did the trick.

Edit: xset -b seems to work. I wonder how switching to systemd causes that behaviour... I just muted the Beep control as well, going to see how that plays out.

I did see that stuff in the wiki, but I figured since it had been disabled before, it wouldn't work. Should have tried tongue.

I found that

setterm -blength 0

was more effective than xset -b. However, it doesn't kill the insanely annoying visual bell in screen.

Same thing happend to me after switching to systemd. Annoying, loud beeps all the time (including at boot).

amixer set 'Beep' 0% mute

did the trick for me. No more annoying beeps but the sound still works in xfce :-)

Re: [Systemd] Disable pesky warning beep :(

Gone are the days of blacklisting pcspkr I guess hmm

On my laptop, in multi-user not graphical I still get a loud as hell beep.
