PC Speaker on Linux

The PC Speaker is really annoying. It had it's day and it still has it's place. When you turn on a computer and the video card is not working or the memory is not accessible, you get a series of long and short beeps. Once in a working OS, the PC Speaker is an annoying blemish. To turn it off in Linux you have to unload the pcspkr service. They have a service just for the PC Speaker.

> sudo vi /etc/rc.local

Add the last line (before exit 0 if present)

modprobe -r pcspkr
