Again; there are a lot of ways to disable it, but shouldn't this get fixed in the right way? * In Sound Prefereneces -> System Beep -> Disable system beep * xset b 0 * rmmod pcspkr Of all these, only one is user-friendly, and it doesn't work in my system. It doesn't surprise me, who would test such a thing? I would guess 90% of the people disable it, so why is it enabled by default in the first place? And I bet no one would disagree with a nice error sound instead.
