Hi!
Some error-sounds is played trough PC-Speaker and not trough normal sound-device. ASLA-setup have separate volumes for ALSA-sounds and PC-speakers. But the error-sound in PC-speaker is horrible and hurt my ears.
Not many applications play sound trough PC-speaker, but IBM Lotus Notes Client do this everytime i receive new message!
Earlier i could turn down the volume, but now it doesnt matter is a Mute PC-speakers the sound is still at maximum. I think this happens after KDE4.2
After that start Notes and report back what happens. If sounds via PC speaker stop after the command, you can add “blacklist pcspkr” to the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf

I hope you rebooted after doing the recommendation below.
It’s possible that you’re experiencing feedback since the speaker
can also be a mic. So… you can try bringing up a mixer and killing
the mic input (zero it or disable it).
The info below is the usual answer to get rid of the PC speaker.
