Hello all --
I just bought a Dell XPS M1330, and the first thing I did was wiped vista and put arch on it (and windows 7).
Everything works great out of the box, even the finger print reader, which I was suprised about (I ended up disabling it, it was taking 5-10 seconds to accept my password or fingerprint). There's only one problem I've run into.
I guess it doesn't have an internal PC speaker, so it emulates one. This wouldn't be a bad thing, except the sound is awful. It's like a high-pitched bleet, and it happens when I do a lot of things like tab completion, exiting vim, etc (I guess I'm not used to it, my desktop does not have a PC speaker in it). I would like to disable it. I've tried blacklisting pcspkr in modules, but since it's not an actual speaker, that didn't work. I've found what looks to be a couple items to help:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
.

I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="PC Speaker"

S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input5
U: Uniq=

Is there a way to rid my life of this horrible sound?

You could try putting !pcspkr in your /etc/rc.conf file:
MODULES=(!pcspkr)
... then reboot.

Tried that

I use
xset b off
Put it in your .bashrc or for system wide /etc/profile
If you type it in your terminal it should work immediately.

I put solved in the title, but I spoke too soon. Reinstalling OSS fixed the beeps, but only because there is no sound at all I'm still working on getting OSS working on the laptop

There is another thread here in the Newbie Corner which may help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75472

Yeah, I just noticed that thread. Unfortunately, he's using alsa, and I'd like to use OSS if possible
