[SOLVED] very loud "BEEP" during Shutdown and Restart

cccc · 11-22-2011, 07:19 AM

Hi

I have wheezy installed on the notebook DELL Vostro and I get very loud short "BEEP" during Shutdown or Restart.
I have tried to add:

Code:

blacklist pcspkr

in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, but it doesn't help.

My lsmod:

Code:

The tone is probably not coming from the pcspkr device anyway. Have a look in alsamixer and see if there is a "beep" volume level you can turn down.

If it's just the gnome or gdm3 login beep then have a look at this thread at the debian forums: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=65327

In alsamixer "beep" volume is completely down and this problem still exists.
BTW in the link you posted is other problem, I don't have a problem with startup beep.
My problem is at Shutdown/Restart a very loud Beep.

uncomment this line:

Code:

set bell-style none

in /etc/inputrc seems to solve this problem.

Dell Latitude e6410 Debian wheezy here. Works perfect for me too, that beep with headphones is horrible.

Just some detail, te line stop any notificatión on gnome-terminal too, the little configurable beep sound when you delete on the terminal (ie.).

Thanks for help.

Glad to help, but I don't know if to edit /etc/inputrc is it best solution, depends of how important pc speaker is.

BTW you can try to set BEEP down using alsamixer as well, I didn't try yet.

May I've not put in the right way, but with "this" uncomment line i've just stop the BEEP sound when appear GDM3 and when you turn the laptop off, only that, the pc speaker and sound still working ok on the gnome session.

About Alsa: Wheezy has adopted PulseAudio over Alsa so, on alsamixer you can turn off volume to beep, but PulseAudio doesn't offer you that option.

Resuming: Discomment this line you have "no BEET on gdm3 or restartin/turning off your laptop", BUT you lose the little configurable beep sounds on gnome. The audio for music, videos, etc still working fine.

Best regards,

what was the solution then?

could you please give us a short post of the procedure to follow since it is solved? thank you (if possible)

This is true on Wheezy using PulseAudio.

Really, this solve the issue when you just shutdown/restart or gdm3 window restart.

Not Solved: Doing this, you stop the issue, but y gnome-terminal you stop to receive the action sounds configured for the terminal.

On squeeze you can try alsamixer:
