Valuable post.

Debian squeeze apparently needs a second blacklist line:

blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd_pcsp

In my case (Ubuntu 10.04) the faulty module was snd_pcsp and not pcspkr

Hi,
and what to do when my laptop has no PC speaker and terrible beep I hear from audio output (=loudspeakers)? I havent pcspkr module loaded, so rmmod cant help me. I’ve tried “setterm -blength 0″ but it works only in command line. Other programs like kopete, gvim … beeps still. xset -b doesnt work. My system OpenSuse 11.0+XFCE 4

My Ubuntu 9.04 doesn’t have a System Beep tab. To disable the Internal PC Speaker I had to go to the Sounds tab and uncheck the Play alert sound.

Here’s what I did:
$ sudo vi /etc/inputrc

Remove the # in front of “set bell-style visible”

Now you get a flash in your terminal window instead of a bell, and that’s for all users.
