Hi Robert,
a workaround is, just to silence the speaker. You can use alsamixer for it in
console and adjust the speaker - or just shut it off.
Maybe there is a better solution, so this is just a workaround.
Another idea might be, to blacklist the kernel module "pcspkr".
Good luck!

I have specific sound problem, which I don't know how to address. The
problem manifests itself by "clicking" sound from my laptop speakers,
looking (hearing) as turning on old amplifier or just (re-/dis-)
connecting the cables.
It started a few months ago. I don't know - was it KDE upgrade,
something with acpi, or something else.
It looks like that: I start kdm, first clicks appear as well. After
entering password they can be heard about 4 times. Then the most
reproducible way of hearing them is to view some sites with embedded
youtube clips.
Logs contain no useful information, but the problem is starting to be
more and more annoying.
Where should I look further? Is it something known? Do you have any
clues, or even better, solutions to that?
Best regards,
Robert

Thank you for your reply, however:
1. I don't have pcspkr module loaded.
2. I'm quite sure that those "clicks" are audible even if I mute sound
in kde mixer :(
Thanks nevertheless,
Robert

I think, kdemixer is controlling the sound, when kde is started, but alsmixer
does it, BEFORE any Windowmanager is started at all.
But I may be wrong.....
Have fun!
