How to turn off all the beep sounds?
I've found this blog post which suggests:
Start > Run > sc stop beep && sc config beep start= disabled
I couldn't test it myself but it should stop the beep and also disable the beep service permanently (or at least until you re-enable it), so there's no need to run it every time or set up a .bat file.
For a GUI approach:
Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc [Enter] -> View -> Show hidden Devices.
then in the window:
Non-Plug and Play Drivers -> Beep -> Disable.
There is also the option here to keep it like this permanently when you restart, which I think the net command will not do.
start -> run -> net stop beep
If you're on Windows XP you can use TweakUI:
- General
- Settings
- Uncheck: Beep on errors
