I first had that with 3.10.8 and also with 3.10.10, and it continues 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...
