Keep internal PC speaker output with snd_hda_intel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

"modprobe snd_hda_intel" causes my PC speaker beep to become redirected 
to the sound card output (unloading the module brings it back to the 
internal speaker). I would like to get rid of this behavior, that is, 
always keep the internal PC speaker output for bell/beeps (partly 
because I'm unable to reduce the beep volume to an acceptable level 
after redirection). How can I do it?

I am willing to hack the driver's source code, whatever is necessary 
just to keep the shrill PC speaker beep away from my headphones without 
having to mute the PC speaker completely. So far I've only found many 
messages regarding muted or too noisy PC speaker problems in the 
archive, however without clues. I noticed that the snd_hda_generate_beep 
in hda_beep.c is where the sound is emitted. However hacking the driver 
there seems too late. I also tried to return 0 from 
snd_hda_attach_beep_device, but this just caused modprobe to hang. 
Please advise.

Regards,
Jan Ploski
