This will be my first time "trying" to help out rather than asking for help. I'd like to be more involved but generally have more problems than solutions. Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum, I'm sure those in charge will delete it if its useless/dangerous or move it to the correct place.
Disclaimer: I'm not expert and am not entirely sure if this is the correct way of doing things. I don't think it will break anything but...
Anyway I recently installed LMDE XFCE on my laptop. Upon booting to the login screen there was what can only be described as an annoying very load system/console beep. It didn't matter what I did to stop this (mute, system settings, etc) nothing worked. Anyway I fired up Duck Duck Go and straight away a (well known) solution was provided:
Code: Select all
echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
paste the following in the terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Code: Select all
options snd_hda_intel beep_mode=0
Points to note that I didn't have to blacklist pcspkr to stop the beep and I can take no credit for this solution and it is found here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=65327 I thought it was quite hard to find but then I'm not search master.
Theres another "solution" in that thread involving the editing /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults which didn't work for me but might for you. Remember to back up the files you're editing just in case.
