Re: [Solved] Annoying bell sound

I had a similar problem. Probably is the digital pc speaker.

Launch alsamixer and check your "PC beep" channel. Set it to mute by pressing m key.

It's the latest kernel functionality. See here: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_28 under Sound section

digital pc-beep support hd-audio codecs
