Re: [arch-general] howto properly disable sound device pulse/alsa?

I tried creating 00-custom.rules and 99-custom.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

SUBSYSTEM=="input" NAME=="HDA Digital PCBeep" OPTIONS+="ignore_device"

I also tried = and == for OPTIONS. But the device is still showing up. Is there some Arch specific rule overriding this?

You need to unset CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP, in your kernel config and recompile the driver. Here's how it is in my kernel config file: # CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP is not set -- дамјан
