Hi folks,
as my console's beep is just too loud, especially during autocompletion, I looked for a solution on the internet.
Tried as follows:
pactl set-sink-volume 0 50%
provided no results
pacmd set-sink-volume 0 50%
resulted in:
Failed to parse volume
pacmd list-sinks showed me that I have only index 0
What can I do else?

You could try alsamixer.

Is the PC's internal speaker beeping? If so you could deactivate it completely:
sudo rmmod pcspkr
To have this change permanently surving reboots create a file/etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf
And fill this file with:echo "blacklist pcspkr"

@vinuv
thanks rmmod worked
@finotti
just heard a couple of years ago pulseaudio should be the better sound solution?!

pulseaudio is (probably) better for the desktop, but it does run on top of alsa. If when in a terminal you don't have pulse, you can try alsamixer... (I haven't tried it myself.) But what matters is that you found a solution!

Finotti: One should use the standard cli tool pactl - simple google for. man pactl is also worth reading.
pactl list sinks # all the sinks in the system
pactl set-sink-mute $sink {true|false|toggle} # mute, un-mute, toggle mute
pactl set-sink-volume $sink vol% # also +/- vol% are possible
and so on ...
Otherwise vinzv is right - if the pcspkr module is used - some older dell notebooks see it different :D
-
Or just disable it (pc speaker) from the bios (if your board has that option)
-
a cable cutter might help too

:) you got that right

Hopefully this isn't considered necro-posting, but I use the Openbox window manager and I have the following line in the autostart file to turn off system beeps:
xset b off
xset comes with x11-server-utils. You should be able to issue the same command from the command line, but you'll need to remember to issue the command every time you boot your computer.
