Thanks for any help

Hi,

You can add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:

blacklist pcspkr

This will prevent the module from loading at boot time.

To disable the speaker temporarily (untill the next boot) you can just
unload the module by:


sudo modprobe -r pcspkr

So using both would solve the problem immediately and perminantly.

Regards,

Wouter

Does anybody knows why "System > Preferences > Hardware > Sound > System Beep > unchecked "Enable system beep"" doesn't do the trick any more ? it work ed fine on F7 and previous releases

If you mean the annoying beep when the login screen comes up, I've just fixed
that by adding the following to /etc/modprobe.conf on F8.

install pcspkr /bin/true

See the man page for true. It's a bit sparce, but gives you the general idea.

Nigel.

Is there a way to reduce the volume, instead?
