This is enabled in 2.6.27. However, people are complaining as it is autoloaded and I am thinking about removing it again.

may be it would be better to blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d?

@Thomas: complaining where? (I have it loaded and it doesn't cause any issues, so I'm just wondering)
Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Saturday, 18 October 2008, 15:29 GMT
Everywhere: When the module is loaded before your usual sound module, it becomes your default sound card. When it is loaded after, you won't even notice.

ah, I confused snd_pcsp and pcspkr. The first one is not loaded on my machine automatically (maybe I don't have it on my laptop? :P)

I complained on http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57034
pcspkr is the module that enables the terminal beeps. snd_pcsp enables the pc speaker as a device to play music, songs, mp3/ogg/whatever files, but it sounds horrible.

So, I think that it should be disabled, or enabled in a way that it doesn't became the default speaker of the system.

I think the best solution is

echo "blacklist snd_pcsp" >/etc/modprobe.d/snd_pcsp
Comment by Sergej Pupykin (sergej) - Monday, 20 October 2008, 15:50 GMT
I mean

echo "blacklist snd_pcsp" >$pkgdir/etc/modprobe.d/snd_pcsp

in kernel PKGBUILD
Comment by Venky (venky80) - Monday, 20 October 2008, 16:18 GMT
so in rc.conf in the modules list should it be !snd_pcsp or !snd-pcsp or !pcspkr (Iam confused)
I have tried reordering the sound modules in kde4 system settings but i still do not get sound, I had it before 2.6.27.1-1
Comment by Attila (attila) - Monday, 20 October 2008, 16:43 GMT
One alternative instead of blacklisting is to assign which sound module is using which slot. The solution works fine for me (Source: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2008-06/msg00011.html).

/etc/rc.d/sound:
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0
options snd-pcsp enable=1 index=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

# CONFIG_SND_PCSP is not set
on linux 4.6.2-1

snd-pcsp is horrible and on many systems the port is dead.
We would have to blacklist it by default anyway if we were to enable it.
