I recently re-installed with Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 5. I have applied all updates as of 3 March 2009. I now have a "PC Beep" volume in alsamixer and it is muted. The beep doesn't happen at all now, which is fine for me for now. However, if I turn that volume up I _still_ don't hear the beep. This indicates to me that PC beep is now completely disabled.

However, I still contend that turning the beep off completely is not a fix. It is a temporary work-around. This is essentially a regression as the pc beep was perfectly normal and non-annoying before Jaunty. That being said, thank you for at least making me hate my laptop less. :-)

/me starts wearing headphones again.
