Disables the Internal (PC) speaker CONFIG_DISABLE_PC_SPEAKER Whenever you don't want your computer to be able to beep, choose this option. Actually, choosing this will still not disable the speaker, you have to use sysctl for this: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/pcspeaker # disable speaker echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/pcspeaker # enable speaker (default) Attention: This will not catch the beeps made directly by the BIOS (mostly this happens when using a notebook and pressing special key codes). To disable this "BIOS-beep" enter the BIOS and change it there. If you are unsure, say N to this.
