Annoying PC Speaker beeps

July 24th, 2008 by robg

I am sure there is a better way to do this, but I am working on a linux lab build and the PC speaker beep is annoying me. Really annoying me.

I can only imagine what a lab full of beeping PCs would be like. The quickest way to stop the beeps I found was to unload the pc speaker driver:

modprobe -r pcspkr

If you want to turn it off permanently add a line /etc/modprobe.conf

alias pcspkr off
