re: Turn Off the PC-Speaker easily Wednesday, April 10, 2002 at 12:01 pm Posted by twd (1 messages posted) What do you do if you are on a restricted network and can't get into things like the device manager and registry? The computers don't have the sound card enabled, so instead of making a sound it still beeps. That's why the changing the sound to a blank sound doesn't work here either. I know you can do it, I've done it before...but I forgot how....

These controls most likely won't have the PC speaker listed but this is easy to change. Click "options" then "properties". Scroll down the list for playback options. Toward the bottom there should be the PC speaker listed. It may be named PCBeep or PCSpeak or I have even seen it just PCS. Make sure there is a check in the box next to it and click OK. It should now be listed in the volume control window. Now all you have to do is click MUTE! :) On Wednesday, April 10, 2002 at 12:01 pm, twd wrote: >What do you do if you are on a restricted network and can't get into things like >the device manager and registry? > >The computers don't have the sound card enabled, so instead of making a sound it >still beeps.

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.
