Unsettling buzz upon logout

I have successfully installed LMDE64, and it works flawlessly... except for this sound issue. Whenever I logout/restart/shutdown, my laptop speakers make a (fortunately) brief, loud, shocking buzz. This isn't an issue with LM10, but it is an issue with CrunchBang Linux, so I suspect this could be a Debian problem... in any case, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance for any advice offered for fixing this issue with this otherwise excellent release!

I had this at the login screen and shutdown too, really annoying but fortunately simple to fix.
Just install the package "gnome-alsamixer", run it and go to the farthest right channel which is called "PC Beep" and mute it.

The proper fix would be to edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults
Code: Select all
# Play system beeps - especially the one when the greeter is ready
/desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds false

This did not work for me.

This did work, thanks Yasawas.

Thanks for this!
Now LMDE64 is perfect!
For the sake of Debian Squeeze, is this an issue I should raise with upstream before their release?

I would say yes.

secipolla's fix does work, but LMDE overwrites the greeter.gconf-defaults on restart. The file doing the overwrites is:
/etc/linuxmint/adjustments/15-gdm3.overwrite
The current fix for this machine, per the /etc/linuxmint/adjustments/readme is to create a .preserve file in /etc/linuxmint/adjustments with the name of the file (or files) that you do NOT want replaced. In my case, the file is:
/etc/linuxmint/adjustments/17-gdm3.preserve
With the contents:
/etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults
After this, changes made to greeter.gconf-defaults stay put.
