The tone played by ToggleKeys comes from the system
speaker on your motherboard. The >system file that drives it can be found in Device Manager > View > Show Hidden >Devices > Non-Plug and Play Drivers: beep.sys. This is the speaker that (also) makes >the beeps for your BIOS. It has nothing to do with your soundcard which is why the >Volume Control has no effect on it. >-----Original Message----- >ToggleKeys makes tones that are too loud ! >Apparently, the special beepings created by ToggleKeys >(one of the Accessibility features of Windows) are not >normal wave sounds like other "event sounds" in Windows. >A user is not able to lower the volume of the warning >tones using the advance sound controls. Even the "mute" >selection has no effect on the tones. If used, the tones >blare out so loud that they disturb me and everyone within >30 feet of me. My sound card is a Sigma Tel C-Major Audio >mixer installed on a Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop that >operates with Windows XP. Can anyone suggest a solution >that will not impair the other audio functions? > >Please post a reply because my email address is bogus. >. > |
