How to disable System sound FC15 ?
 
Hello
I tried all possible solutions for disabling the worst sound ever (BEEP!). I have this problem only when the login screen appears and after I clicked on my account's icon to write my password and login.
I tried to disable it (alert sound) from 'sound' in 'system settings' by muting it or even changing the sound to the other options and nothing happened.
Then I search for this problem and found a solution that remove the module by executing

Code:
rmmod pcspkr
but I get an error because Module pcspkr does not exist in /proc/modules
so I checked in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and it has the following line under sound drivers

Code:
# sound drivers
blacklist snd-pcsp
As I understand, that is the new name of pcspkr and it is blacklisted - how is it still able to BEEP during login screen?

Is the output of

Code:
gconftool-2 --get /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/sound/active
true or false?

Set it to false. That is your problem.

You can do this with the configuration editor (gconf.)

Just navigate to the key that I posted above.

i set it to false
Code:
gconftool-2 --type string /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/sound/active --set false
but it still beeps. Something that I noticed is: during login I muted the sound via a touch 'button' located on top of the laptop's keyboard. Muting is indicated by changing the colour of the of sound figure from blue to red. Then, when I log in to the system the sound light turns back to blue. So that is one way for me to get rid of the notorious beep but why is still beeping despite setting it with gconf to false?
