Giving you a sorta bump instead of a solution. Unless I got lucky.

from the movie tron, that I manually use, to worf from star treck telling me when SeaMonkey has a email message arriving.



But no beep on logout. I just double checked before posting.

Which to be honest. It would be something I would do.
In the Terminal type: alsamixer
Press [F5] to list all audio channels.
Look for a channel called 'Beep'. If there isn't one try selecting a different sound card by pressing [F6].
Once you have found 'Beep', highlight it and lower the volume to the bottom. Then press the [M] key on your keyboard to mute it. 'MM' should now have appeared in the square under the volume scale.
Press [ESC] to exit from Alsamixer.
In the Terminal save the Alsamixer changes by typing: sudo alsactl store (authenticating if neccessary).

Code: Select all

overlaps somewhat with suggestions already posted, but here's a mint discussion describing several approaches:

Well I installed mx14 yesterday, and I had a beep on the grub menu which I removed with grub customizer... But there is also an even louder beep when I click restart or shutdown, it is enough to wake the dead... It is the same beep sound I hear when i press the volume up and down buttons on my laptop....
Could it be that this is a laptop issue, and something that is happening just on this specific machine... __{{emoticon}}__

I tried the alsamixer approach but the beep was already muted in there, when i switched sound devices the only meter was a master volume.... I saved it anyway and it still beeps... I am going to peruse the other link given here on the linux mint forum...

My laptop has the exact same sound card mentioned in the linux mint forum link, I tried both ways of fixing it that were mentioned in their forum, and blacklisting the pc speaker was the one that worked the beep is now gone... thanks for the info as always it is very much appreciated.... __{{emoticon}}__
