    Loud noise when shutdown or restart on ubuntu 9.04

    Hi! After i upgraded my Ubuntu from 8 to 9, a sound problem occurred. Every time i shutdown or restart my desktop, the internal speacker do a loud bip(like the common motherboards bip when boots, but much longer). There's something i can do to cancel this, or the new Ubuntu do this sound, intrinsically?
    Thank's Bruno

    In volume Control, disable PC Speaker.

    Go to your menu and then go to System and then go to Preferences and then go to Sound. When the Sound control window opens decide if you want sound effects. You can disable the PC Speaker there. The PC Speaker is an antiquated or legacy requirement which goes back in history to when PC's did not have sound cards.

    Also, look at your top menu bar and locate the small icon of a speaker; you can adjust sound levels there either by left-clicking on the icon or by placing your curson on the icon and then using your middle thunm wheel (if you have one).

    Boa Sorte!

    Add
    Code:
     blacklist pcspkr
    into
    Code:
     /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    Tip: Open the configuration file as root, i.e.,
    Code:
     gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

    I would like to thank everyone who answered.

    misterfixit, i followed all you said but there's not such an option there. I'm blind, or its not so evident.
    XCan, the codes you gave me worked, thanks! You should only add that i need to write it in a terminal like this:

    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

    to avoid confusions by the noobs like me, because we can't save the file without administrator password.

    You're welcome. Fixed my previous post as well, gksudo is generally preferred over sudo when dealing with graphical applications.
