Beep was back with pcspkr module blacklisted and not running here on my Dell Inspiron 1525 (also a model that shipped with Ubuntu). Regardless of sound settings, such as mute (even the Alert Sound mute) in the sound preferences, it would emit a beep if I did a search in Firefox for example for something that didn't exist.
My solution was to change: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/bell_mode to "off" No longer get the beep that just about gets people evicted from their apartment for blasting it at 3AM, or blows out someones ear drums while relaxing to some music with headphones. -- Overuse of system beep without volume control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
