One final test: if you use beep_mode=2 (instead of beep_mode=0) and use your usual mixing app, can you cause the beep to go away (i.e., is there a control for that)? Depending on the answer, I think we should: * use beep_mode=2 and find some way to advertise (release notes?) that the mixer can be used to turn the beep on and off, or * keep using beep_mode=1 and find some way to advertise that adding a .conf file to /etc/modprobe.d with options snd_hda_intel beep_mode=0 will turn the beep off. And if there is some sysfs way to change the setting at runtime, that would be worth advertising, too. Meanwhile I also think it would be a good idea to turn pc speaker beeps in general off by default, but that's a separate story (and probably should be filed as a separate bug). Okay, as I could not find a control for the beep in alsamixer I installed gnome-alsamixer and, yes, there is a control for the beep. That way I can turn the beep off. Hi, I've just upgraded from linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 (version 2.6.32-31) to linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64 (version 2.6.38-3) and I think I see the the problem reported by henry atting. I am also using an Intel integrated sound card (with snd_hda_intel). To be more precise, with the default configuration (no change in modprobe configuration) I had the following behavior with the previous kernel (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 version 2.6.32-31): the beeps used to be redirected from the PC-speaker to the sound card, so that they were not audible when the sound speakers were turned off; when using headphones connected to the sound speakers, the beeps were only audible through the headphones (this is especially important in a work environment or office with a number of other co-workers which are not be disturbed by your beeps). Now with the current kernel (linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64 version 2.6.38-3), again with the default configuration, I hear that the beeps are coming from *both* the PC-speaker and the sound card, which means that turning the sound speakers off leaves the beeps coming from the PC-speaker audible and using headphones does not prevent the disturbing sounds for co-workers. I tried the following: # modprobe -r snd_hda_intel # modprobe snd_hda_intel beep_mode=0 No beep from the sound card, but beeps coming from the PC-speaker! # modprobe -r snd_hda_intel # modprobe snd_hda_intel beep_mode=1 Beeps from both the sound card and the PC-speaker! # modprobe -r snd_hda_intel # modprobe snd_hda_intel beep_mode=2 Beeps from both the sound card and the PC-speaker! Only the beeps coming from the sound card are mutable with alsamixer. Is there a way to obtain the previous behavior (beeps redirected to the sound card, and configurable through alsamixer, no beep from the PC-speaker) with the current kernel? Please someone help me!

(I have to ask since on a desktop there are some situations where a sound file containing a recorded beep sound is played.) The beep sounds on error (or on shutdown) E.g. I enter `sldj`, hit TAB for completion - it beeps. No matter if I am on a virtual console or in a terminal emulator. (I know that I can disable it on X with the appropriate xset setting) I use gnome with awesome as a WM. The beep sound is definitively this painful hardware beep and not a sound file.
