Debian: dmesg output contains “Error: Driver ‘pcspkr’ is already registered, aborting…”

Here is what’s transpiring: the boot sequence attempts to load two different drivers for the integrated PC speaker. To solve the problem install alsa-base package:

aptitude install alsa-base

And then execute the following command:

echo blacklist snd-pcsp >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist
