2009-02-20 03:23:29 Luke Yelavich None: statusexplanation Part of this can be solved by muting the recently added PC Beep control on hda soundcards. As for general disabling for everybody however, I will dig deeper, add tasks where necessary, and change packages accordingly.

2009-04-16 13:29:36 Stefan Bader description I am seeing this problem on Jaunty and have been since I first installed. I am currently running Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4 with updates as of 18 Feb 2009. The current system beep is *EXTREMELY* annoying (even more annoying than people who feel the need to write in all caps). I'm surprised my ear drums have not burst yet (I'm not kidding). This sound is what I imagine I would hear if I were to stick my tongue into a 240V socket, except that might hurt less. This same laptop worked fine with Intrepid and Hardy. Though sound doesn't work today it has certainly worked in the past. Regardless of whether any other system sound works the Annoying System Beep (tm) persists. I don't dare use headphones for fear the system might decide to beep. I have tried disabling the system beep a number of ways: * blacklisted pcspkr in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist * Add `xset b off` and `xset b 0 0 0` in various session files * Add `set bell-style none` in ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile I am now able to turn it off in the GNOME Sound preferences (thanks Bug #325778!), but that doesn't stop the system from beeping when in a virtual terminal or if I'm not running X at all. Regardless, turning the sound off is merely a work-around. I have not yet tried shutting down, but the system used to beep then too (different bug afaik). $ lspci -vv -s 00:1b.0 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Dell Device 0209 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21 Region 0: Memory at f6ffc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel Please let me know what information might be useful. SRU justification: Impact: Having the speaker beep enabled for snd-hda-intel cards produces a very intrusive noise which is more annoying than helpful. Fix: For now disable the system beep in that driver. Testcase: Working in a virtual terminal doing some action that causes a beep. --- I am seeing this problem on Jaunty and have been since I first installed.
