[Bug 616341] [NEW] Blacklisting snd_pcsp and pcspkr modules doesn't silence system beep

Wed Aug 11 13:15:56 UTC 2010

Public bug reported:

My computer starts beeping very loudly when shutting down, the snd_pcsp
and pcspkr are already blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
(the only solution I get when searching everywhere on the Web). This
doesn't happen all the time, but I really need to get rid of the
beeping, since it has happened at office and is very embarrassing (and
will get me berated soon for sure). I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, on a HP
Pavilion dv6871us laptop. I haven't installed any weird stuff or done
any unusual tweaking. The computer shuts down normally (the shutdown
animation pulses and fades normally, then the computer shuts down)...
Whenever my computer goes kernel-panic I have to use the power button to
restart it, so I think it's not a kernel panic.

I can't upgrade to Lucid. I already upgraded and had problems of all
sorts.
