getting rid of pc speaker/beep sound

Hello guys.

Can you advice me how to get rid of the pc speaker/system beep? I tried most of the advice on this site https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Di … eaker_Beep but it doesn't work. Can it have something with snd?

Btw, I'm using Toshiba Satellite T130-10g. I attach lsmod and lspci.

lsmod:

Re: getting rid of pc speaker/beep sound

I had this problem too. I didn't have pcspkr nor snd_pcsp loaded and still got the beep. What ended up being wrong was indeed alsa: it didn't show the "Beep" device in alsamixer until I hit F6 to "Select sound card" at which I chose... my only soundcard, and the Beep device appeared, which I was then able to mute, which worked.

However, GNOME also has its own special beep which comes out the speakers, which (if you're using GNOME 3) you can disable by clicking on the volume icon, then "Sound Settings" and checking "Mute" on the "Sound Effects" tab. This is what did it for me.

I had literally tried EVERYTHING on the wiki page EXCEPT for the alsa related things because my alsamixer only had one bar. Upon F6ing and selecting my soundcard there was in fact a "Beep" to mute. I love you<3

What I did was add
blacklist pscpkr

to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

like it says [here](http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/07/1 … -in-linux/)

You should use our wiki rather than possibly outdated and Ubuntu-focused external resources because e.g. filenames can differ.

OP said he tried everything that was in the wiki.
