IMHO your system shows this behaviour ... you may check if the cooling of your CPU is working as you may hear the warning beep of your CPU heat protection guard from the CMOS its self. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It must be something else. For disabling the kernel beep, try to run "rmmod pcspkr". Some HD-audio drivers provide its own beep, but this could be switched off (to the another beep) via "Beep" mixer switch. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But, I still wonder why HALT_SOUND=no didn't work. Could you double-check? If any, try to edit /etc/init.d/halt script not to issue any beep-related stuff (look for HALT_SOUND there). If you hear still beep at shutdown/halt, it must be from something else. We need to figure out who rings the bell actually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

HALT_SOUND=no if test -n "$REDIRECT" ; then [...] as you can see from the shell code below the value `no' will not cause any bell on the console. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I took a look at the code now, and it broadcasts the warning message beginning with \007. If it's the culprit, I see no option to disable it, so the workaround is to either disable forcibly by removing pcspkr driver or invoking "setterm -b0" to disable the beep. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

A beep on a console is simply

echo -e '\a'

that is the ASCII value for beep also called bell. You may replace \a with \007 (compare with `man ascii').

Or just hit Ctrl-G. Use of 'beep' is surely not the real problem, but when the machine has a regular, working soundcard, it does seem odd that it would produce the beep through the builtin speaker instead. Is there any chance this is because the normal soundcard has been shut down at this point, and sound therefore falls back to the speaker? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The only times the internal speaker is used are 1) while shutting down or restarting 2) when in runlevel 3 It does seem very possible that the soundcard is shutting down before the beep is issued, resulting in a very annoying internal beep instead of a far less annoying speaker one. Is there an easy way to test this? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can still turn off the beep on console as in comment 15.
