System Speaker 1

[IamEvilHomer]

Hi, I have a windows 2000 pro machine that keeps beeping through the system speaker. I have disabled it in hardware manager and checked the Bios to see if there was a setting there. Still no joy. The damn thing keeps beeping when windows open or close or new events happen. Somebody mentioned there may be a registry hack to stop it..does anyone know ?

Hi There

Try looking under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound]. Default the value is YES... change it to NO and you should be set.

Just a question... you said you turned it off under hardware manager. Did you do it under [non-plug&play driver]? Else do this: in HW manager - (in menu) View hidden resources - choose non P&P drivers - beep - Deactivate


Anyways This should do the trick.

I've actually popped that little speaker off of of modems that wouldn't shut off all the way with a pair of pliers, and though a successful procedure, I wouldn't reccommend it to everyone.
Claus's solution is definitly better.

To shut off the modems speaker you have to go into properties of the modem and find where you can add init-string and add M0 (Its a zero) to the init-string. That will turn it off compleately.

Extra note: You can with M1, M2... M4 turn up the volume (M4 is the highest)
