Hi All,

I have a computer that arrived with XP Pro installed. It has always had
this problem but it is really starting to get to me. The beep is not
from the sound card, but a system beep from a beep speaker. Muting the
sound using the applet in the system tray does not affect it. It also
only happens during some applications.

I use Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird for web and email. Skype does not
effect it, nor winamp. But MS Money does, and Norton antivirus when
doing a system scan does. Very annoying.

Has anyone come across this before? If so how did you fix it?

Thanks
Tim

Go to start>run and enter

sndvol32

then go to "Options" then select "Properties" then check "PC Speaker">"OK"
then all you have to do is mute the PC Speaker

Good Luck

Not necessarily true. I just did as you suggested and found NO listing for
the motherboard or case speaker.

Don't have an entry for "PC Speaker".
Do have:
Volume Control (General)
Wave
SW synth
CD Player
Line In

Any other ideas?

go to start>run and type

devmgmt.msc

double click on "System Devices">the go to "System speaker" right click and
disable it.

Good Luck

Bring up the volumn control, click options, properties
and check PC speaker, click OK and it will show up.
Then you can do as WTC said.

Never mind, I should learn to read better.

I'm stupid, but it seems to me that finding out WHY the
system is beeping and fixing the problem might be a good
idea. Just turning the speaker OFF, either in Windows or
the BIOS, is like fixing a broken finger while the compound
leg fracture is untreated.

You are getting the beeps because there is a problem somewhere. Fix it and
the beeps will go away.
