Remove beep when connecting or disconnecting...

Nico -  
 N0rah -
Hello everyone,
I just acquired an Acer Aspire 5740G laptop.
The "issue" is that when I plug or unplug the power supply from the computer, a buzzer goes off. The beep is at a pretty high volume and when someone is sleeping, it's not cool to hear that noise.
I wanted to know what means are available to remove this beep.
I've already checked the BIOS but there's nothing related to that. At least from what I've seen.

So, if someone can shed some light on this ;)
Thank you very much :)

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Hello everyone,
    I've been searching for several days by testing each function! It's been really frustrating...
    I think I found it...
    Under Windows 7, Acer 7750G:
    - Right-click on the sound icon at the bottom right, near the clock,
    - Select "Sounds",
    - Choose the "Playback" tab,
    - Double-click on "Speakers",
    - Select the "Levels" tab,
    - In the "PC Beep" section, click on the speaker icon to disable it!
    Click OK and give it a try!
    Let me know if it works for you too!!!!

      You're welcome! Glad it works for others!
      It's easy to do, but it's still pretty well hidden...

      Same problem (what were they thinking putting a buzzer for the power supply, come on...)
      Packard Bell Easy Note TS
      And it works!
      Thank you very much.

      Look! A Packard Bell that has the same kind of beep: it must be related to the motherboard or some other component???
      In any case, it's good if it works for you too and thanks for the feedback!

    Hello

    It is very simple to disable them. To do this, edit the registry:
    Start / Run / "regedit"

    Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound

    You can disable the system beeps by creating a new string value named Beep and setting its value to No!

    I might have a solution to your problem:
    Before plugging in or unplugging, mute the sound by pressing: Fn + F8
    and unmute it with the same keys once you're done.
    It's not very convenient, but it's all I've found for now :)

    Hello

    if there is a small PAFLE (Speaker) then you need to remove it from your motherboard (because it is not integrated into this motherboard)

    In other words, is there no way to disable it?
    Do I have to remove it physically (which I won't do)?

      Hi,

      generally this beep is essential in case of problems in the configuration of your motherboard (badly connected or defective RAM, failure of your processor, etc.). In these cases, the BIOS detects the problem and generates a series of beeps (long beep followed by short beep) to check if the RAM is in good condition or the processor, etc.
      but for the deactivation... I don't know... sorry.

      It's not the Windows startup beep, mind you ^^ it's just and only when I plug in the power supply to charge the laptop. This beep is certainly specific to Acer because on HP laptops, there is no beep when you plug in the power supply. I don't understand why Acer did that.

      Hi,

      so, for this, I don't know, but from an electronic standpoint, this is normal when you plug it in for charging, so there is a capacity (capacitor) that will discharge, so this is normal.

      It's certain, but Acer didn't have to include a buzzer. A simple resistor would have done the job if it's a surplus that needs to be consumed before the system.

    Uh, you can remove it if you directly power on the motherboard with a wire to connect the two pins.

    Well, I don't really know how to help you, I'm not very knowledgeable, but I know that on mine it works when you turn off the sound.
    Sorry.

    Re: Hello, do you have an Acer? On Acer devices, this technique doesn't work; on Acer devices, there's only one technique: mute the sound!!
    I'm sorry.
    Hoping I've shed some light for you.

    Awesome Franz, it works with Vista too!
    I also have an Acer, and that beep had been annoying me for a while as I was looking for how to disable it, until I stumbled upon this forum today.
    Thank you very much!

    Hello Photisma,
    You're welcome: It's a pleasure to help!
    I still have the beep when I turn off the PC and cut the power during the shutdown phase; but it's quite bearable compared to the constant beeps at every connection or disconnection of the power supply!
    It's specific to Acer, I suppose...?

    Hello,

    For those who have Windows 7, I found a very simple solution: uninstall the "Realtek" driver and let Windows 7 find a standard driver (sound hd something). It worked for me; maybe it will work for others.

    Best regards,

    Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 7740G and I have tried all the techniques mentioned in this topic, but I can't disable this beep... Even going into the BIOS settings! I've searched everywhere, but no luck, and if I uninstall the Realtek driver, I'm afraid it will mess everything up...

    Good evening Max,
    Have you tried the technique I shared in July?
    "- Right-click on the sound icon at the bottom right, near the clock,
    - Select "Sounds",
    - Choose the "Playback" tab,
    - Double-click on "Speakers",
    - Select the "Levels" tab,
    - In the "PC Beep" section, click on the speaker icon to disable it!
    Click OK and try it! "

      Yes, I have already tried, but I have Realtek as the audio driver, and in "levels" I only see "microphone," "line in," etc., but no "PC Beep" :/

    2. Franz
       
      And none of the sections after "line in" allow for removing this beep, I suppose...?
      There, I don’t know; your sound card seems to not have this option...
      Sorry...

      For an Acer Aspire 5740G, the technique of uninstalling the Realtek driver works; you just need to go through "uninstall a program" and select Realtek...
      Restart the PC, and Windows will automatically install an HD Audio driver (for Windows 7).
      No risk, I just did it right now :)
