[SOLVED - at least for me]annoying TAB sound just won't die...

Hi,
I've added this for the MODULES in rc.conf:
MODULES=(!pcmcia !pcmcia_core !pcspkr !snd_pcsp powernow-k8 cpufreq_ondemand)
and still I hear this annoying sound when I hit the <TAB> in the console, over and over and over again....
I've disabled the pc speaker and its sound module, and I have configured the ALSA using alsaconf succesfully (the sound is crap on my HP Compaq 615, but that's because of the speakers, not Linux). Still if I run the "alsamixer" command, I can see the volume of the pc speaker right there, but if I change the PC speaker volume the system volume is not changed. Is there an alsa "beep" sound for the <TAB> i need to kill somewhere? This mind boiling sound I hear every time in xterm when I make an error of some sort in the keyboard, like when I'm working in Vim and I scroll to the top of the file and hit the line, etc.
lsmod gives me this output:

Any advice?

@tomislavski:
I believe your internal beeper is controlled by the drivers for your soundcard instead of the generic pcspkr-driver, since blacklisting pcspkr and snd_pcsp had no effect. I also use the snd_hda_intel-driver on my netbook, and I have two separate controls for speakers in alsamixer - "Speaker" refer to sounds played through normal applications, while a "Beep"-control refers to those annoying console beeps. You could check if you have a similar setup, and in that case just mute the Beep-control.
Nareto wrote:I'm too having the beep on Tab etc. I did all of the above with no success.
The original poster had allready tried placing !pcspkr and !snd_pcsp in the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf, which on most (older?) computers should be enough to disable the internal speakers system-wide. Did you try that too? You can test the procedure without rebooting by running:
su -c "rmmod pcspkr"
As for disconnecting the cable to the internal speaker, I don't think it was intended as a joke. I've done the procedure before, and at least on my desktop computer the internal speaker was quite easy to locate, and it was connected to the motherboard by a single, easily removable cable. If you're on a laptop however, the procedure might be a bit more bothersome.

Macbook Air kernel_task problem SOLVED (a least for me)

Hi,
Introduction:
I bought my MBA original (A1237) this January. Soon after the kernel_task problem arised - it consumed some 130% - 160% of CPU.
The problem did not occur when in Safe Mode. So I asembled a list of kexts that were running after normal boot but were not running in Safe Boot. I tried to remove them manually one-by-one .... with no result. The problem persisted.
Then I began to experience problems with the top case. First my powerbutton died, then the trackpad started to behave crazy and finally my keyboard refused to work as whole.
So I bought another A1237, with cracked LCD. I disassembled both computers (using ifixit.com guides - it is really not difficult!) and put my screen assembly (the whole piece with hinges etc.) to the new-bought computer. Unfortunately the logic board had EFI password on and the seller did not know it
I've been going crazy and as a last resort I removed the logic board and replaced it with my original logic board.
Well - now it works No kernel_task problem, the comp has been now running for 24 hrs and both cores are performing between 5 and 50%.
WHY did it work?
I don't know.
The top case problem probably had nothing to do with it. It just happened by the way.
Well, many users have reported this problem as a CPU temperature related.
The only thing I can imagine is that the thermal paste, that assures thermal conductivity between the cores and the heatsink was "worn", old, dried, cracked... This can happen when it is exposed to low temperatures. The cores overheat then. My system reported CPU temp between 30-50 Celsius, but I think that this is measured at the heatsink, not at the CPU directly.
Solution you may want to try:
Disassemble your Air to the point where you remove the heatsink. Remove the thermal paste from both the CPUs and the heatsink a replace it with a new layer. (My paste cost some $5.) Then put it all back together. Use guides at www.ifixit.com, there is guide for applying the thermal paste too. You will need just a tiny screwdriver.
I cannot tell for sure that this will work for you but I simply cannot imagine anything else, that could have solved the problem for me. Sometimes it is probably just disassemble-reassemble.
Unfortunately I have no clue why the kernel_task problem did not occur when in Safe Mode.
Well, that's all I know. I know a little but am happy to have it working in the end...

Seems to be related with AppleHDA Audio Codecs (old ones from OS10.8 work), that's why when you guys unplug the headphones the CPU level cames to normal levels. This problem is still not solved.
I've been chating with some Apple amployees about it and they say it's a Maverick's problem. I've said them that so many people is having this problem in Apple's official forums and they reccommend me to say you guys to open a "Feedback Bug Report" in Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
They told me that in the forums where you guys explain this issue, they don't read it them all, and the worst of all, apple enginyeers don't read them. So, i reccommend you to open a Bug Report in order to let them know about this problem and giving them enough information to solve it.
Thanks

How do I get rid of the annoying zap sound I get each time I open a tab or navigate within a web page.

Every time I open a new tab or navigate to a different part of a website I get this annoying zap sound. It only started after my last upgrade. Please tell me how to get rid as its driving me mad. It has nothing to do with add-ons as I've disabled them all.

For the past month, I've had an echo of my voice while I'm talking on my phone. It's very annoying and sounds like multiple people are speaking at the same time and it's only me. Anyone know what's wrong?

How can i adjust the sound level customized for each browser tab?

Hi,
I'm kinda a new mac user. I want to know how i can adjust the sound level specifically for each browser tab or application the way you could do in windows.
Thanks.

Volume Mixer feature that Windows has, is not available in OS X.
Best.

My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

I Also have this problem!!
In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason. At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident. Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed. Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees). Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!! Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

[solved] After sytem update ALSA only plays sound for root

Hello. Yesterday I performed a system update as usual, and after rebooting I found that my user account does not have any sound anymore. Root has sound just fine. I checked and my user is still in the audio group. I even removed him from the group, added him again, and rebooted but it did not help.
I get these error messages in a terminal:
mplayer:
alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:989:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore
speaker-test:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:989:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore
Playback open error: -13,Permission denied
Running these with a sudo works 100% fine. Alsamixer levels for my user are normal too.
WORKAROUND: Restart timidity service.
SOLUTION: Do not run timidity as a service in the first place.

Thanks for replying.
My root user actually doesn't play sound, I just tried to play some for testing purpose after my normal user suddenly just had silence.
Unfortunately those IPC-changes did not help. However, I removed my /etc/asound.conf file completely for testing purpose and voila, sound suddenly works again. So it seems the last update changed something that does not accept my asound configuration anymore. I will try to experiment a bit with its contents to further narrow it down.
Ok, this is strange
I commented out an entry
period_time 0
and after that my user had sound again. Then I restored that entry and...sound still works.
I will pretend I didn't see anything and just move along I guess.

The Xperia Z1 is the best mobile device I have owned so far.....but for one annoying flaw.....

OK, I have owned the Z1 for around 6 months now, and I have LOVED the product...I more or less have no complaints, and its become pretty much my favorite electronic device, except for my gaming PC : D
I use it day in day out, listen to the radio, watch video, surf the web, exepriment with all kinds of the incredible apps, and of course, play games (and it will be gaming that my comment is primarily about)
Thing is....gaming on the Xpeia Z1 is a GOOD experience....excellent GPU performance (though it gets HOT! ...really noticeably HOT..not warm....**bleep** it gets hot! : D), great screen, great sound with headphones (though the headphones jack tends to get in the way when holding the unit in landscape), and if playing without headphones, I find my hand covers the speaker and totally muffles the sound!
These are just small niggles, but nevertheless, things I notice, that I would desire to be slightly changed if I had the chance, but I realise they are issues with the hardware and design, so Im happy to wait unitl I get my next phone (likely the Xperia that comes out in 18 months when my contract is up!) and see how they are dealt with through the evolution of the series.
These are just mega picky things Ive noticed in an otherwise perfect design (for me....just my opinion).
However...the only thing that REALLY REALLY REALLY ticks me off, is a software issue....that has apparently been dealt with via the 'Immersive Mode' feature in Kitkat 4.4.4 (which I am running on my Xperia)....
That is the 'Soft keys' not disapearing in games, and taking up quite a large chunk of screen real estate.....in a very annoying place that depending on the game, can even quite easily be accidentally touched, kicking the unwary user out of the game,! (ARRRGHHH!)
Now I realise that proper support for 'Immersive mode' is actually up to the developers (am i right in thinking this?) and I have tried a couple of games that advertise support, and its all well and good, and works fine, also my comic book reader supports it, and so I get ALL my screen for books (rarely, I use HDX for that), documents and comics....and of course the built in video player has seemingly ALWAYS supported complete fullscreen without these **bleep** buttons getting in the way....
And its such a GREAT screen too....does anyone know exaclty WHY it is, that the Xperia series in particular sacrifices so much screen to these buttons while gaming?
All games Ive tried have the 'Top Bar' (with battery, signal and time etc..nto sure what its called officially)...automatically hidden..so why not the 'bottom bar?'..the menu keys? Especially since the strip of screen is so HUGE!!
To show 3 **bleep** buttons!
What really makes me wonder, is that even my Kindle Fire HDX (which I use primarily for actualy reading books/newspaper/articles) and that I consider an 'inferior' device in most respects..actually has a 'hide soft keys' feature...where in games and apps the 3 buttons and strip of screen are replaced by a very small and unobtrusive little tab...that you simply swipe out to expose the keys....
A GREAT solutuion!
Why isnt there something like this on the Xperia series?
I have deliberately explained myself fully here because I have become very frustrated wth this just recently, as I have been playing a lot of the brilliant games by the developer RORTOS...that makes impressive flight simulator games....games that (Particularly F-18 Carrier landings Pro 2) cannot run very well on my Kindle FIre HDX....
They play beautifully smoothly while maxed out on the Z1 though....(and the same goes for GTA Vice City, that I have been enjoying playing again on mobile on the way to work every morning : D...thanks Sony and Rockstar for a great start to my workday xD)
BUT these great games are being MARRED quite badly by those DAMNED BUTTONS!!
In F18 Carrier Landings Pro 2 and Airfighters (2 RORTOS games that are really superb if you like flight sims) several controls are positioned at the edge of the screen...and the soft keys are right in the way...so they are functionally gettiing in the way...
and whats more, they ruin the original design philosophy of the Xperia Z1...the design philosophy of 'OmniBalance'..because the game image is not equidistant from the left AND the right side...but shunted one side or the other, because of these **bleep** buttons!
(I hope I have explaiend this, and you can picture what I mean...it really irritates me : D)
Yes I am aware of a few apps that are available, both root and non root solutions.. but I have found them all too imperfect...just not good enough, too clunky, too much configuring and messing around to get them to work...and even then they have too much impact on other functions to be worth it for me...since i do use my Z1 for a LOT of different things.....
The ones Ive tried are fine as kind of Dev Tools...but I really love the overall design of the Z1...and I like to KEEP it beautiful and slick to use...as slick as it looks...(yep, I like the cosmetics so much, I cant even bring myself to keep it in a case xD...I just have to be careful with it...and its hardly got a scratch so far...just a few hairline type ones : (....
So...can Sony please add a little feature, like the small tab that I mention above on the Kindle Fire HDX, to hide those keys?
I have messaged RORTOS about them supporting Immersive mode fully, and they said they would look into it (of course they said that!), bur that most devices these days ALREADY hide the soft keys in games...and in my experience, thats true!
Out of 5 or 6 devices Ive played games on, i have to say that the Xperia series is easily the most effected by this issue.
and its ANNOYING as **bleep**...and I KNOW Im not the only one that thinks this...but I havent found an official Sony response (or indeed Android or Developer one) about what is likely to be done.
So does anyone have any news?
Does anyone know why one of the best screens and best GFX performers in a mobile device is still suffering from the soft keys being present at all times in games?....(except every now and then Ive noticed the keys are slightly camoflaged, as white dots....the strip of screen is still taken up, but the actual key icons are reduced to white dots (anyone else seen this?) but this just seems to happen randomly......sometimes it does that, mostly it does NOT...and besides, its not a real solution anyway...since a chunk of screen is STILL used up by it....
Please Sony, you use a custom Android, just liek Amazon do on the Kindle Fire HDX (though admittedly, not quite SO customised xD), and THEY can hide these keys without immersive Mode support...
Why cant Sony?
rant over...
I still totally love the phone..Im only going off on one like this because I love everything else about it...but this one thing I think is actually a pretty big deal.....so please address it ..
Please?
All the ebst
jim.
(PS I am also really harrassing RORTOS about supporting Immersive Mode too....if ALL the Devs supported it, then this wont be an problem (I suppose anyway?)....but Im not sure if there is an issue about how many people are actually USING KitKat 4.4.4...I would guess a LOT but perhaps not quite enough to make a special effort for?....anyway...Im not just picking on Sony : D)
rant really over.....for now.....

You had to have some kudos for the effort put in to your thread as week as the point you make.

Guest WLAN need to re-authenticate for each new tab

Hi,
We installed recently a new WLC 2504 with 22 AP's.
We use web authentication for the guest WLAN.
The porblem is : users can login and authenticate but whenever the open a new webbrowser tab they need to re-authenticate again.
And this for each new tab they open.
Anybody knows how to solve this?

No, the user shouldn't have to reauthenticate for every tab they open, once the clients entry is built in the MSCB they should stay in a RUN state until either the reauth timer or the user idle timer expire.
First I'd upgrade to 7.0.220.0 and see if that resolves the issue. If it doens't get a TAC case open.

For Mac OSX version 10.9.4 looking for the preference tab

I want to print just a portion of a page but can't find a preference tab. I highlight a section of a page so I can print just that section but I am unable to find a preference tab, I have a HP 6600 all in one and have a new Mac version 10.9.4 Mac OSX
What am I missing?

Hi pagosselin,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are looking for the preference tab in Mac OS X 10.9.4 with your HP 6600 so you can print just a section. and I am happy to help you!
Please try the following:
Reset the printing system. OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system.
Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
Make sure you have the full feature software and drivers installed. HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
After that you will want to make sure the correct driver is selected. Make sure it says HP Officejet 6600 instead of the HP Photosmart that is shown in these images, and not Airprint.
Let's start with that, and we will go from there!

ZenVisionM not Vista Compatible (at least for

I am trying out Windows?Vista Ultimate Edition Build 6000 (RTM). Contrary to what I have read from these message boards (mainly this post http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=48598)?and the Knowledge base (ZVM as an MTP device should nati'vely work with WMP, http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=2&sid=486), my ZVM is not being picked up by Vista nati'vely. I must install drivers. But the problem is the XP drivers don't seem to work. I have uploaded pics of my installation. http://www.flickr.com/photos/5249557@N00/?When is Creative going to come out with official Vista drivers? It seems like most of the Mods here keep saying that Creative's MTP devices will be nati'vely supported but several other people with several other MTP devices have shown that?this is not the case (at least in the Vista RC versions). It seems that there is a communication break down somewhere between Microsoft and Creative, and/or Creative hasn't even tested for actual compatibilty with Vista. And I figure that since this is the RTM version (the version?businesses can?now buy and?regular consumers can buy in Jan 07)?I am trying the ZVM on, Creative has a problem on their hands since there isn't nati've support as Creative is claiming/expecting. Has anyone been able to get the Zen Vision M 30GB, which I have, or the 60GB to work on Vista, specifically the RTM version?And Note that when I say Creative, I mean the mp3 player division. My X-Fi soundcard is working perfectly on Vista with the beta drivers.Message Edited by treex2 on 2-05-200608:32 AM

Confirmation for closing other tabs

the issue was opened for v.16 "Firefox 16 asks for confirmation for closing other tabs" and reported as "fixed" but i have the version 20.0.1 and the issue is still not solved.
I mention that the checkbox "Options/Tabs/Warn me when closing mutiple tabs" is unchecked and the property browser.tabs.warnOnClose = false but still the browser ask for confirmation when "Close Other tabs" is executed.

hello bitter, when you change '''browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs''' to false in about:config, this issue should be addressed.

How to Stop Annoying Startup Sound

I only run Windows Vista on my MBP, how can i get rid of this annoying startup sound?

Ah, that sound
I only know of apps for OSX to mute that sound, but none for Windows.
But since thar startup sound is mainly used as a 'hint' if something is found during the startup-diagnosis, I personally have left it on.

[Gnome 3] Annoying system sounds

Hi everybody,
Gnome 3 has been emiting some annoying system sounds since this afternoon update.
I tried to shut them off in the user menu but it didn't work.
Any idea ?
Thanks for your attention.

I've started getting annoying pops when changing the volume, both with the keyboard and using the volume icon. Muting system sounds doesn't help.
