However, over the past several weeks, the students have found more

around to all systems and remove the PC speaker from each and every
computer case.
Now I am curious; how are they getting the pc speaker to make any sound with
the kernel module disabled?
ioperm(), inb(), and outb() from userspace. Needs root, though. Or
/dev/port, with write. Which comes to the question how they gained root.
Perhaps live cd? In which case, the OP should, as recommended in this
thread already, deactivate choosing boot devices, if that's possible.
(Unfortunately, newer BIOSes with 'integrated bootmenu' with F8 or so,
but I have not seen a way to deactivate _that_ menu.)
He already said they don't have root access and that allowed him to stop
them from accessing the sound card by setting appropriate permissions.
