Ohh btw, 1.0.18a connects the hardwar beeper, which can only be disabled at compile time, just as a suggestion, isn't there any way to create a way to mute this on runtime? For advanced users like us this is no trouble, but for newbies this is an issue, and might scare them, the beep on a dell laptop is quite annoying (you can't image how annoying it's comming out of the headphones)
Don't you have "PC Beep" mixer control?
Takashi
I do have it, but there's no mute option. And even at the lowest level option it keeps beeping at a very loud level.
I'm attaching alsa-info.sh output at lowest level possible, and I tell you it hearts when it beeps in the headphones.
