Comment 22 for bug 77010

I feel the same as Doug: It's annoying to have to blacklist the stupid speaker every time I install Ubuntu - it's happened more than a couple of times where I've wanted to just quietly shut down the computer before going to bed, but end up waking my girlfriend up due to the ridiculously loud beep.

What is interesting is that the beep depends on the master volume, so if it's set low than it's not a big deal. But when it's set near/at 100%, it can rattle the room.

I don't have any technical input on this bug, and I'm not even sure if this affects the majority of Ubuntu users, but as a casual user this is very annoying.
