I'm using this ThinkPad T60, and just realized that if using an earphone, the
console's audible bell is blowing my ears off. I couldn't find anything
relevant in mixerctl -a output, nevertheless I've changed every outputs
control's volume to 0 to see which one could be it (no luck). Is it possible
to lower the system beep's volume, so my ears won't bleed by tomorrow? :)
use wsconsctl.
if I recall properly, that only helps in console mode. If working in X,
might find xset more helpful. For example, my Acer Aspire One's
.xsession includes the line:
xset b 10 2000 80
which shortens the bell, reduces its volume and increases its pitch.
Something about the default pitch just didn't seem right for this little
machine and I wanted to reduce the volume because I often take it with
me to places where all my vi "beep!"s would be annoying.
