Looks like the more-permanent way to do it is to remove the pcspkr module altogether, via<BR/><BR/>sudo modprobe -r pcspkr<BR/><BR/>(preferred, for reasons I can't totally explain, other than that modprobe is the new hotness)<BR/><BR/>or<BR/><BR/>sudo rmmod pcspkr<BR/><BR/>(perhaps more portable?)<BR/><BR/>Then put<BR/><BR/>blacklist pcspkr<BR/><BR/>in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist . Whether that file exists, or exists at that path, will unfortunately depend on which Linux variant you're using. That one works for Ubuntu, and may work for Debian derivatives generally.
