This may shed some light on the issue: https://superuser.com/questions/636533/debian-7-shutdown-beep and also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614893 Supposedly sysvinit was patched in 2018 and fixed this in version 2.92 but MX has version 2.88. If neither my first suggestion nor a...
