That didn't work for me. I wanted the PC speaker muted because I plugged in some good external speakers. I didn't want them to be drowned out at low volume by the internal speaker.

What I found was that when you open volume controls you get the array of slider volume controls. At the bottom of the master column was an 'advanced' button. When I opened that there was a checkbox to mute the PC speaker. So now all sound goes thru the external speakers.
