[SOLVED] Disable pc speaker beeping
« on: October 28, 2007, 01:57:27 pm »
How do I disable the "Listening for Button 1" beeps or any PC speaker stuff for that matter? Just remove the module pcspkr? It's really annoying when you are frequently rebooting while testing things.

Any advice is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Martin

You could unclip the PC speaker from the motherboard as a last resort.

I dont have one on my system.

Just a thought for you to consider.

Those of you looking for a permanent way of doing the above, don't let the system load this module while booting via:

Code: [Select]
sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Cheers,
