Thanks. One final test: if you use beep_mode=2 (instead of beep_mode=0)
and use your usual mixing app, can you cause the beep to go away (i.e.,
is there a control for that)?
Depending on the answer, I think we should:
* use beep_mode=2 and find some way to advertise (release notes?)
that the mixer can be used to turn the beep on and off, or
* keep using beep_mode=1 and find some way to advertise that adding
a .conf file to /etc/modprobe.d with
options snd_hda_intel beep_mode=0
will turn the beep off. And if there is some sysfs way to change
the setting at runtime, that would be worth advertising, too.
Meanwhile I also think it would be a good idea to turn pc speaker
beeps in general off by default, but that's a separate story (and
probably should be filed as a separate bug).
