Hi Elimar,

So it seems it can take more values on your system, but perhaps you
don't have the same chipset and the difference comes from this ?

I blacklisted the module (added a line
blacklist pcspkr
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf) and restarted the computer.
After restarting, two things that I can't understand happened:

1. The pcspkr module still appeared in lsmod

2. Although pcspkr was listed, the computer doesn't beep anymore,
independently of the value of the Beep simple control in alsamixer (the
control stillhas four values).

Did I do the right thing or did you mean something else by "disable" ?

Thanks,
Shérab.
