How to switch off Motherboard Beeping?

[humbletech99]

---

I have a laptop with linux on it that just keeps beeping all the bloody time. When gdm starts, when the machine switches to runlevel 6 to reboot, when I tab complete a command!

The system works, but it is amazingly annoying.

To stop the beeping on the tab completion I have added

set bell-style none

to /etc/inputrc which takes care of the beeps that were happening every minute of usage - but gdm, reboot and everything else still beep.

How do I kill all beeps in the OS?

EDIT: it's ok, I found that disabling pcspkr module does the trick

Hi this my first post so i pray that it helps, anyway to most poeple that command doesn't work so i think u should try this and see it works vim /etc/termcap, in that big list, scroll up and find and remove the entry <bl=^G> or u can replace it with bl=\E7\E[?5h\E[?5l\E[?5h\E[?5l\E[?5h\E[?5l\E[?5h\E[?5l\E8: which should make the screen flicker instead.
Cheers buddy

1 I fixed it
2. I don't want my screen to flicker.
3. I have no /etc/termcap file
4. My way is universal. No pc speaker module, no noise.

did u unplug the speaker?
