On one of my machines, I get continuous beeping from the internal

with 3.11.1.

In the meantime I left the machine on long enough to discover that it
stops beeping whenever it is idle long enough and blanks the display.
Well, this is embarrassing: Since this began I switched the machine on
even less often than before, but yesterday I found out by chance that
the sound did not come from the internal speaker but from the speakers
built into my screen. Now I traced it to the snd-hda-intel kernel module
(noise there if loaded, sound gone when removed with |modprobe -r|).
Why was the sound never heard on bootup in 3.8.x kernels but is starting
with 3.10.1?
Peter.
P.S.: At least now I know that the easy workaround is to tune the
(hardware) speaker volume down to 0...
