How to disable the BEEP when I logout and for other commands?

Issues & Assistance
1

I understand the censorship of my previous post (https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/how-to-disable-the-fuc-ing-beep-when-i- logout/36991/), but I think a right to reply was useful and necessary.

In response to BluishHumility, who responded to my censored post:

Sorry. I recognize my mistake regarding the tone. But I didn’t insult anyone. I was stressed because, after the first installation of Garuda, the system did not work properly. I had to reinstall it and, subsequently, for reasons that do not find their place in this post, my external hard drive --that I use for storing my documents-- was no longer readable. I got it back up and running thanks to Testdisk.
Thank you for your help or attempt to help. I will follow your instructions, but I have not found the solution. On the contrary, the problem has increased: now both Thunderbird (for the new mail) and other programs like Firefox (for the unsolved search) notify with a beep.
To imagine the frustration of the time wasted looking for the solution for a “little” problem like this, I want to quote the reflection of another person who encountered the same problem (quote from one of the posts you linked in response to my censured post):
“I’ve used search & google, I’ve tried the old way of ‘blacklist pcspkr’ in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, Ive tried !pcspkr !snd_pcsp in /etc/rc.conf, I’ve even tried the deprecated method of MOD_BLACKLIST=(pcspkr), and still I have the system beep driving me crazy ! At the moment I’m just using rmmod pcspkr to kill it every time I login, but I want to kill it stone dead, permanently.” ((SOLVED) System Beep / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums)
The solution to the problem is not the same for every device and distro used. This is what I deduced from reading the posts and testing the suggestions, also for the ones I had already searched for and read for hours and the ones you linked to me.

Does this command show any output?

lsmod | grep pcspkr

Output is 🔴ERROR

But I have a new problem: when I try to log in my user account, the desktop background is black and the windows of some application, like the file manager, work improperly.
I have logged in recovery mode like root and when I try in the console:
sudo su - user
I receive this message:
xset: unable to open display ""

I think I have made a bad manipulation in Sessions an Startup in trying to eliminate the beep.

Now the problem is too much big and it takes too much time to be resolved. I think that the only alternative is a reinstallation.
