No Default Beep Event in Audio Device Properties

[Guest]

My desktop system (AMD Athlon 1.15GH. running Windows SP Pro SP2) does not
have the "Default Beep" event listed under the Windows segment of the Program
events list in the Sounds tab of Sounds and Audio Device Properties.

I am told that is why the "beep" action does not work with Access VBA or
Macro commands.

My laptop running XP Pro does have the "Default Beep" entry and the beep
action works on that computer.

Any ideas about how to get the "Default Beep" event put into the Program
events list would be appreciated. Otherwise, how can I get the system
speaker to respond to the Access command?

See if you have these registry keys...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\.Default
Value Name: (Default)
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: Default Beep

Value Name: DispFileName
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: @mmsys.cpl,-5824

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache
Value Name: @mmsys.cpl,-5824
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: Default Beep

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\EventLabels\.Default
Value Name: (Default)
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: Default Beep

Value Name: DispFileName
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: @mmsys.cpl,-5824

Kyleq,

Those were all the relevant registry keys that I could find on my machine.

What changes did you make???

The set of keys below were not in my registry. I put them in. The other
entries were as you suggested. I shut down the system and started it up
again but there is no difference in the results. I have talked to several
other folks in person and in other communities without solving the problem.

I may have to break down and pay Microsoft. That will be a first.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache
Value Name: @mmsys.cpl,-5824
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: Default Beep
