No need to cut any wires.
Assuming the module works properly and it's loaded automatically, it's
trivial to disable the speaker: either mute it with alsamixer, or do
this:

echo "install pcspkr /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.conf

The PC speaker is a traditional feed-back mechanism, it's probably
better to not disable it unless there's a good reason to.
