I just did fresh installs of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 9.04 on the same computer. Only Ubuntu plays the terrible system beep using my Intel sound card at shutdown. I have to admit that this is the most annoying *buntu bug that I have ever encountered, as I appreciate using the system beep in the terminal, but NOT whenever I shut down my system. Since only my Ubuntu installation seems to be affected, I wonder if this is a more Gnome-related issue rather than a linux kernal issue. BTW, I noticed that my Jaunty installation no longer has the "System Beep" tab like Intrepid did. I had to manually edit my configuration file to get a "visual beep" in some cases, although this hasn't disabled the system beep at shutdown, and as already mentioned above, I don't wish to blacklist pcspkr. This is an absolutely terrible bug which needs to be fixed by Cananical ASAP.
