[gentoo-user] Continuous beeping with kernel 3.10 and 3.11

[gentoo-user] Continuous beeping with kernel 3.10 and 3.11

[Peter Weilbacher]

On one of my machines, I get continuous beeping from the internal 
loudspeaker when I boot a newer kernel (I'm using vanilla-sources). I 
first had that with 3.10.8 and also with 3.10.10, and it continues with 
3.11.1.

When I first had that problem I tried to remove all config options that 
had to do with the internal speaker, like
   CONFIG_HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
   CONFIG_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
   CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR
but that didn't help.

In the meantime I left the machine on long enough to discover that it 
stops beeping whenever it is idle long enough and blanks the display.

Does that ring a bell with someone?
    Peter.

Might be related with some kind of io error.
What does dmesg show?

Nothing out of the ordinary. :-(

Can it have something to do with the graphics card instead? Because it 
stops right when the screen blanks?

Check the manual for your BIOS/motherboard to see if it's some indication of
hardware failure.

Hmm, I'm sure that I have seen some beeps documented, but I cannot find 
that anywhere in the manual now. But I have a hard time believing that 
it's the hardware when going back to kernel 3.8.x fixes the beeping.

I wish I could recall the fix because I ran into this once before.  I
changed something in the kernel config but I can't recall what it was. 
I'm thinking on it and if it hits me, maybe after hitting send, I'll be
glad to share.  This was maybe a year ago that I hit this tho. 

I hate getting older.  lol

What would the alternative be then?

Think about it. You start getting older the day you are born, when do you
stop getting older? ;-)

Well, this is embarrassing: Since this began I switched the machine on 
even less often than before, but yesterday I found out by chance that 
the sound did not come from the internal speaker but from the speakers 
built into my screen. Now I traced it to the snd-hda-intel kernel module 
(noise there if loaded, sound gone when removed with |modprobe -r|).

Why was the sound never heard on bootup in 3.8.x kernels but is starting 
with 3.10.1?

    Peter.

P.S.: At least now I know that the easy workaround is to tune the 
(hardware) speaker volume down to 0...

3.8.x defaults to $VOL=$MINIMUM

while

3.10.x defaults to $VOL=$SOMETHING_NOT_MINIMAL

??

or maybe the audio feed to snd-hda-intel was busted for years and some
kind soul fixed it in 3.10?


Diff the drivers in the kernel sources to find out more :-)
