PC Beep

[JaneC]

Hello!!

I use Windows XP. I'd like to turn all the sounds on my computer off, except
for my media player. I've changed the settings to "No Sounds" through Control
Panel-Sounds, however now I get the PC Beep whenever a sound would normally
play.

Is there any way I can disable all sound from my computer, excluding the
sound coming from Windows Media Player or iTunes?

Cheers,

If you open the volume control, you should see a "mute" checkbox.

The beep codes were developed by IBM to tell technicians where the
potential problems were. IBM used to have the "manual" on-line that
explained all the beep codes and their meanings.

if you were using vista you can do that

I don't think that's the sound he is referring to, this is while windows is
running and your response doesn't apply. he said beep coming from the pc
speaker whenever a regular sound should play
