speaker support is at | Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Input device support --->
[*] Misc
< > PC Speaker support
|
I can't understand why so many people are annoyed by the speaker..
mine isn't broken anymore (lil'bastard... grrr...) (the outpout on the mainboard, not the speaker itself.. tryed a otherone.. I f***ing hate this mainboard..  ) and I'm searching for a way to redirect it to a soundcard..

Well, I have a Via chipset, so that might make a difference.

look here
Basically, it tells you that you don't have to disable the speaker in your kernel. Instead, just do the following:
"In Xfree you can turn the PC-speaker bell on and off with the xset commands option b - manual page"
"To turn off the pc speaker on console mode use setterm with the argument blength - manual page"
Also see this entry in the gentoo wiki

| Personally I like the PC speaker... on my desktop. I actually manually enable it everytime I compile a new kernel. It beeps everytime I have a new mail in pine, which is good. Now on my laptop it's REALLY annoying. I just haven't gotten around to compiling it out yet. |

As an aside, what I ended up doing was editing /etc/inputrc as suggested in the gentoo wiki (see link above):
| Code: | # do not bell on tab-completion
set bell-style none |
This turns off the PC speaker for tab completion, backspace, etc, but leaves it enabled for system beeps & program notifications. (For example, now portage can still beep at me to tell me it's done or when an important message scrolls by, but it doesn't beep when I tab complete.) It was the tab completion beeping that was driving me nuts anyhow.

Ah the system bell... a vestige of the days we thought the faint crackling of our system speaker while playing wolfenstine was kewl.
Now how do I turn the god forsaken thing off.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's in the kernel config.
Device Drivers -> Input Devices -> Miscellaneous devices -> PC Speaker support
Why it is in Input Devices is beyond me, though...
