In 11.4, even though my sound is muted, whenever I login/logoff KDE my laptop chimes or beeps. If my speakers are muted, I expect no sound to be coming out.
Is there a whole other channel I need to be muted? As far as I know, i have them all muted.

have you achieved that goal with other operating systems? (some sounds
are not operating system generated…and to silence them you will
have to hack the BIOS, or disable/remove the chassis speaker)
i’ve seen the case were if you have more than one desktop environment
(say both KDE and Gnome) installed and you have pulseaudio active,
it might be playing sounds according to the settings in either
desktop, regardless which is active at the moment…
this and many other sound problems i now avoid by selecting (during
initial install) to not install pulseaudio…
ymmv

It is definitely the openSuse login chime, it is not a BIOS thing. I only have KDE and KMixer is muted.
All other sounds are muted, Amorak, webpages, etc. But when I login or logout I get the chimes.
