Some applications in Windows can be rather annoying as they sometimes generates beeps in the PC Speaker for every action they make. It is very noticeable when using a mobile computer where the PC speaker is right in your face. One can disable this beeping through the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Control Panel \Sound]
Beep = “No” (Enabled = “Yes”)Note if using Win2k/WinXP then one can also use the Device manager to disable the Non-Plug and Play Driver called Beep (Hidden Device).
Note to configure the sounds played by your soundcard use the Control Panel and open the following applet:
- Sounds (Win95/98)
- Sounds and Multimedia (WinMe)
- Sound Schemes (WinNT4)
- Sounds and multimedia (Win2k)
- Sounds and Audio Devices (WinXP)
