System sounds not-muted, even though I have them set to muted
Disable pcspkr kernel module that creates error beep alerts
sudo rmmod pcspkrAnd create a blacklist entry to prevent udev loading it at boot
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf <<< 'blacklist pcspkr'
Archwiki also now suggests disabling another kernel module that might be needed for KDE
sudo rmmod snd_pcsp
sudo tee --append /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf <<< 'blacklist snd_pcsp'
