Hi there. I am up-to-date with Debian unstable on an x86 machine. I installed a lot of GNOME junk including Galeon, Nautilus, and Gnumeric. I also installed alsa 0.9.0b7 from sources, including OSS emulation. Then I installed esound.
My problem is that the machine beeps a lot via the PC Speaker. For example, Sometimes when Galeon opens a new window, it beeps. Sometimes the machine just beeps and I'm not doing anything. It always beeps when I shade/unshade a window. I have turned off beeping at the console (via setterm), and I have enable esound. I can see it running: 261 ? S 0:00 esd -nobeeps [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /proc/261/fd/ l-wx------ 1 jwb jwb 64 Aug 28 11:27 5 -> /dev/dsp0 Yet, the damn machine still beeps. I recall during my lengthy apt-get that I was asked whether I had a sound device, and I replied NO because at the time, I did not. How can I reconfigure this? Is there a system-wide way to get rid of the system beep? Perhaps I can compile it out of the kernel? Please advise me on how to stop this maddening beep before I go nuts. Regards, Jeffrey Baker P.S. XMMS and aplay work fine.
