PC Speaker disable

I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on my Zepto 3215W, and everything works out-of-the-box. All the previously issues I've been writing about now works perfect.

One thing that still is annoying is the PC speaker, and it is very LOUD on a Zepto 3215W. Why is'nt the PC speaker disabled by default in a modern operating system?

To disable the PC speaker in Ubuntu do the following:

To disable the PC speaker immediately and only during this session, remove the kernel module:
sudo modprobe -r pcspkr

To disable and blacklist the kernel module from the startup scripts, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add this line::
blacklist pcspkr
