The noise is quite irritating, I'm looking forward a workaround or a way to shut it down.

just forbid modules "!snd_pcsp !pcspkr" within rc.conf this will turn off your pc speaker permanently. - b4.

Muting the "PC Beep" in "alsamixer" mutes the beep, but the internel speaker doesn't come back to life On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 10:13 PM, Flavio Costa wrote:

The noise that used to come from 'pcspkr' isn't annoying, but apparently, for some specific Intel hardware, the soundcard is "taking over" the beep and using a very annoying sound.

I think that is because of CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP=y If it is really important to you - try rebuilding your kernel with the option turned off.

This can't be the end of the story! There must be, or should be a way to enable the PC-speaker. I see that other distributions turn of "CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP" in .config, and IMO arch-linux should do the same. I do rely heavily on various sounds to indicate mail arrival, completion of some task etc. Meanwhile Takashi Iwai wrote in [1]: To avoid someone misunderstanding: the beep routed through HD-audio can also go to the built-in speaker. It's just mixed up with the normal audio output, and the volume is controlled via ALSA mixer volume element. But, once after it's hooked up to the codec, the beep can't be output separately to the speaker. It's always with other audio signal to the same output target. Or, on some systems (mostly laptops), the beep is hooked up to the codec automatically no matter whether you set CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP once when the codec chip is initialized. So, the behavior depends pretty much on the hardware implementation. So there must be a way to configure HDA to route beeps to the speaker, but how is this done? I remember HDA being able to wire specific sound sources to specific jacks. If you employ The Search Engine[2] you'll see that there must be even another way using some asound.conf setting, but again, I cannot find a definitive guide.
