Loud Beep on speakers when rebooting/shutdown

[jaweinre]

After upgrading to 12.10, i'm getting a loud beep when shutting down or restarting my HP 2560p laptop. Sound comes through speakers and/or headphones. This happens on unity and gnome DE.

hwinfo --sound shows the following:

Already tried every solution found here to no avail:

Which include disabling sound notification on "sound" config, blacklisting pcspkr, going to alsamixer and lowering "Beep" to 0, etc etc..

Audio is working 100% btw, although this Model: "Intel Audio device" is suspiciuous.. maybe my system is not fully recognizing my onboard audio?

Also, i can't set any notification sound on the "sound" configuration panel, they're all greyed out, even when i enable it.

Problem solved. After trying the above, and also reinstalling the whole audio framework, and using alsamixer on console, i came across the gnome-alsamixer package. Using this software i was able to find a "Beep" entry which i disabled, muted, and lowered volume to 0, three times just to make sure. Problem got solved.

So, for anyone having similar issues, use GNOME-ALSAMIXER.
