re: HELP!!! Question about 'Turn Off the PC-Speaker as the default beep' Monday, November 20, 2006 at 10:35 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ohmster (1 messages posted) Wow, I have been going nuts with this problem and have been at it for two days. This is THE ONE that worked. I too had my key had been nulled (Did not say "value not set".) and NOTHING would bring back the default beep or make the speaker slider sound again. Once I deleted the key data next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Immediately my speaker slider made real wav sounds again. Also, if I type something into a document of any kind, like a text document and try to close it without saving, I get the ding sound again. I usually just "Hit and run" on answer boards like this but this was such a great help that I took the time to answer, confirm, and to say THANKS!
