Lisa,
Thanks for your advice. However,
# ifdown eth1
ifdown: interface eth1 not configured
and the interface is not configured in the network devices screen;
and it still beeps.
#ifconfig yields:

When I go to volume control, all I can edit are the settings for the
microphone. No volume control is available for the laptop speaker. The beeps
still keep coming.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Mark
