The simplest solution that works Thursday, April 24, 2003 at 1:10 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Goran Vuletic (2 messages posted) No need to edit the registry. Just open the Device Manager, select View -> Show Hidden Devices, and disable "Beep" under "Non-Plug and Play Drivers". It works on my Windows XP, and turns off even the speaker on my motherboard, which I cannot just unplug. Written in response to: HELP!!!
