Comment 11 for bug 486154

We seem to be having slightly different problems - I am getting a sound out of my speakers when I would expect a system beep. What I'm trying to do is go back to the ugly PC speaker beep that I know and love. I was guessing that the sound was being produced by pulse audio, and it seems that module-x11-bell is the one that would do this. But since this module isn't loaded, it must be something else.

Nonetheless, I suspect that we're both looking for the same solution. Something is grabbing events headed for the system beep. We just need to figure out what this something is and how to disable it.

I wonder, in the cases where you can get the beep, is pulse audio running? If so, are the same modules loaded as usual? (You can get a list of the loaded modules with `pactl list`, though that also gives a bunch of other info as well.)
