Manjaro XFCE disable system beep

[al_F]

At certain events, XFCE responds with a loud “beep” - when I open the shutdown dialog, when reaching the end of start menu items, etc. It’s the same kind of beep that comes comes when opening the BIOS config at boot.

I prefer a silent system and have been looking everywhere I can think of without finding any settings to switch it off.

Edit: XFCE is latest edition, 4.16

Does somebody here know?

How to mute beep sound from logout icon?

Hello, I think you are referring to the PC speakers beep. Try this from terminal: echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf After a reboot, it should be gone when you log out again.
