    Kernel sometimes mistakes my PC speaker for a buzzer

    I have recently uninstalled PulseAudio and opted to use ALSA by itself for Linux sound. The reason was mainly to remove Polkit from my machine, because I didn't feel like I needed it yet it was a dependency for many programs on my computer. However, afterwards I noticed that there are random...
