Ok, I'm slowly getting there ... so the "Mic" element in alsamixer does NOT control microphone volume for recording, but for loopback playback? As mentioned in my first posting, if I mute the left channel of "Mic" and both channels of "Line", then I do not get that high pitched sound. So, do I understand it right, that the solution is to just mute them then and be done with it? I haven't experienced something like that with all the sound cards I had previously. But I'm still looking for a solution for the system beep, as living without it is a bit annoying as I use it heavily for getting notified of emails and people requesting me on IM.
