System Beep

[Tim M]

Please, is there a way to turn off that annoying beep when I hot shut down?

I already turned off system beep in Sounds under administration but it still beeps on shutdown

You can remove the kernel module and add the module to the Modprobe blacklist:

su -
[Your root password]
rmmod pcspkr
gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Scroll to the bottom of the blacklist file and add:

# Annoying Speaker
blacklist pcspkr

Done

If I am using a laptop will this also stop my music playback? Assuming I don't have speakers plugged in.

Nope, I've tried it on my own laptop - the "pcspkr" module actually only controls the piezo speaker soldered to your motherboard PCB, not the laptop's stereo speakers
