Beeping!

Barrucadu · 2008-12-27 12:45:56

Since the most recent kernel update, my laptop beeps when booting up. It also beeps sometimes when using it - for all I know, this is normal; but I can no longer disabling the beeping by running "modprobe -r pcspkr", it still beeps. Is there a solution to this?

Now you need to put "!pcspkr !snd-pcsp" under /etc/rc.conf -- MODULES to disable the speaker, so maybe you can try "modprobe -r snd-pcsp"

I still hear it on a dell xps m1330 but only in the console not after I start X. I have blacklisted "pcspkr" and "snd_pcsp"

After a quick search through through the forum, it seems there is a confusion whether to use "snd-pcsp" or "snd_pcsp". So I searched for "snd-pcsp" in my filesystem and came up with "snd-pcsp.ko", while when I search for "snd_pcsp", I came up with nothing, so I suppose you should use "snd-pcsp".

Wonderful, I have a beepless laptop again. Thanks.

It turns out I forgot to do sudo alsactl store but it was on even though at 0. Thanks anyway
