Ahhh... You never said anything about that.

In that case go into the bios and shut off all the beeps...OR in my distro I can go to control center, sound and multimedia, system notifications and turn off all sounds.
Either way I get no bios beeps and still can hear MP3's.

In slackware you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and change the section

Code: Select all

# Enable PC speaker support for 2.6.x+:
if echo $SHORTREL | grep -qvw 2.4 ; then
  /sbin/modprobe pcspkr
fi

to

Code: Select all

# Enable PC speaker support for 2.6.x+:
#if echo $SHORTREL | grep -qvw 2.4 ; then
#  /sbin/modprobe pcspkr
#fi

or as root do

Code: Select all

rmmod pcspkr

if you want it to still load by default. With the "bell-style" thing, it'll keep bash from beeping, but other applications not started from bash will still be able to beep. Remove the module supporting the speaker and nothing in Linux will be able to beep no matter how bad it wants to.
