When I use the sound icon in my system tray to adjust my speakers, it beeps.
How can I get rid of the sound and still use the sound icon for adjustment
only?

From an earlier thread courtesy of kenkcj

"If you have a scroll wheel mouse, you can click the volume
icon and just
scroll up and down for volume, no beeps for volume change...
easy enough
right?"

No, it didn't work. What you suggested (checking the mute box on the volume
icon), disabled ALL sounds. I wish to disable the beep for the volume slider
only, not for other applications. Please help!
 
Don't follow the advice I provided in that thread. Do what
kenkcj suggested, click on the volume slider and use the scroll
wheel on your mouse to change the volume level up or down.

Open Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, Sounds tab, scroll down to
"Default Beep", click to highlight, scroll up to, and select the top
"Sounds:" item, which is (None), click OK to select this sound event.

If you use the XP Category view, you would click "Sounds Speech and
Audio Devices", "Sounds and Audio Devices", Sounds tab, then locate the
"Default Beep" and change it.
 
My "default beep" setting is (none), but I still get the beep from the
volume icon.

I would like to try your suggestion regarding the "XP Catagory view", would
you point me to that location please.

You end up at the same spot, depending on what view your Control Panel
is set to use.

If you have a sound volume control other than that supplied by XP, that
one might use a different sound event, one it added to the Sounds list.
But my "Sound Blaster Audigy" still uses the Default Beep sound. I
really don't know what else to suggest.. If it's a beep from the
speaker in the tower, there might be a setting in the BIOS to disable
error beeps and that might help.
 
I'll try to explain this one more time.

If you left click on the speaker icon in the notification area
the volume slider will pop up.
If there's a dotted line surrounding the slider simply use the
scroll wheel on your mouse to move the slider up or down.

If you right click on the speaker icon and select either "Open
Volume Control" or "Adjust Audio Properties" from the pop up
menu, you have to use a different approach. Once you've made
your selection, place the mouse on one of the bars on either
side of the slider and left click. This should place the dotted
line around the slider. You can now use the scroll wheel to
adjust the volume.

Much thanks to all those who helped, and those who tried to help, on this
volume setting question.
