PC Speaker Beeping on Errors (All Windows)
Category: Home > Hardware
If you get annoyed by the beeps and noises coming from your PC speaker but can't find a way to turn it off, then use this tip to disable it.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new string value, or modify the existing value, named "Beep" and set it to either 'Yes' for beeping enabled or 'No' for beeping disabled.
You may need to log off or restart Windows for the change to take effect.
