Hello,
I want to remove a beep "that drives me crazy" :-) from my laptop. It's a beep that sounds when the power cable is unplugged and my laptop switches to battery use.
I have already tried
1: ------HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound\no
2: Unplugging the speaker (on the PC it's often a small speaker included or connected to the motherboard) but in my case the beep comes from my two speakers because it's a laptop.
If it helps, my laptop is a Medion MD40653
Whoever knows the solution is not only a boss but will also save me expensive consultations with the therapist ;-)
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I've been looking for several days by testing each function! It's been quite a headache...
I think I found it...
On Windows 7, Acer 7750G:
- Right-click on the sound icon at the bottom right, near the clock,
- Choose "Sound",
- Select the "Playback" tab,
- Double-click on "Speakers",
- Go to 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!!!!
See you later

Just uninstall the Realtek audio drivers and restart your Acer. Upon startup, Windows will install the default audio drivers, but without the power beep; it works perfectly.
To avoid having to uninstall a driver that works well, you may just need to go into the device manager and check the special properties of the sound cards and codecs to see if there's an option available. In the control panel, you might have (as I do with a card = "YAMAHA AC-XG") a special settings link.
Checking the BIOS is also a very good thing (and it's more logical regarding the possible and available options related to the power supply of a laptop) to see if there's an option; just be careful if you change and then save something modified in the settings.
I am not in favor of turning off a sound that can keep us informed... but for sure the sound could be more pleasant knowing that the beepers can produce different sounds even if they are not melodious.
It's not possible to use speakers since they are too fragile and too big on a motherboard (...) and also because of the production/electrical management of sound (...) ; if anyone wants to add... thank you.

Hello
It is very simple to disable them. To do this, edit the registry:
Start / Run / "regedit"
Locate the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound
You can disable the system beeps by creating a new value of type string named Beep and assigning it the value No!
As a courtesy, don’t leave the person who helped you without a response. A little word is encouraging.

I found the solution by myself in the end.
SOLUTION:
-go to the BIOS control panel at startup
-go to "ALARM"
-set everything to "disable"
-exit saving changes
end

A whole day to find the solution!!!! :(
I've tried everything: regedit, BIOS, system sounds, device manager "plug in" but nothing works!!!
With Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.5911 you don't have the PC beeps section, to get it
- uninstall Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.5911 (Control Panel/programs/programs and features/right-click on Realtek High Definition Audio Driver/Uninstall)
- then install Realtek_XP_XP64_Vista_Vista64_Win7_Win7-64(R2.29) (Realtek Audio Driver R2.29)
you can be :) happy now
go to
- Control Panel
- Hardware and Sound
- Sound section "manage audio devices"
- right-click on speakers, in properties
- Levels
- PC beep (do as you like: lower the beep sound/mute)

I think we have a winner... letsfire_89 I just went into the BIOS and even though I had to search a little bit, in my BIOS the option isn't called alarm3 but "... Beep", a bit hidden... But I set it to disabled and IT WORKS!!!!
Great man, you're the boss....

You found it, it's indeed Realtek from which the beep needs to be removed. I have an Acer 7551 and it worked after many tests.
Hi Cesel45
Thank you for responding, but did you really read my post????? I’ve already tried your method, and the beep persists when my phone switches from AC power to battery...
For example: the cable gets unplugged unintentionally and I have that damn beep ringing...

Hi Foenax, I have the same problem as you to the point where I'm even writing to you about this post that is 3 months old.
Have you found a solution to your problem? The worst part is that this beep happens according to your volume; the higher your volume, the more it surprises you, especially when you're wearing headphones.
I have a Thinkpad T42 laptop and I have exactly the same problem with the same attempts as you.
Does anyone know what to do??
Thanks

Hi Soupeauchoux,
To be honest with you, I only found one technique to stop that infernal beep: I plug a jack into the headphone socket, then remove it or connect headphones just when I need sound... I know it's a bit old-fashioned, but it works...
If you ever find or someone finds another solution that's less "MacGyver".... please don't hesitate to share it with everyone (and please read the posts carefully in advance to avoid responding like Cesel 45, whom I still salute for his good intentions...

Hi. In fact, I have the same problem with a Medion Akoya, but I don't have (or can't see) any option that might correspond to this in my BIOS (which seems extremely simplistic). No "beep" or "alarm" in sight. Can someone help me? Thank you!
Same problem as the last post ... I don't have this type of option in the BIOS...
I have an Acer Aspire 5735z
If anyone has the solution ....

Thank you ...

I'm bringing this old topic back up, but I'm experiencing the same issue with a brand new Acer, no possibility to modify anything in the BIOS or in the Windows sounds, no registry changes. The beep persists and it's really annoying... Does anyone have a solution?
Temporarily, just think about lowering the volume when someone is snoozing near you.
I managed to silence it on a Lenovo notebook running Windows XP Home Edition as follows:
simplified explanations:
- open the volume control by right-clicking the "volume" icon near the clock
- check "mute" on pc beep.
well-explained version:
- click on start, then control panel
- double click on the "sounds and audio devices" icon
- in the "volume" tab, in the center of the window, there is a box named "device volume," click on "advanced settings," the window that opens is called "master volume"
- click "mute" in the rightmost column "pc beep"
and there you go, all done...

Under the "levels" tab, there should be different "categories"; Like:
- Realtek HD Audio output,
- PC Beep,
- Microphone.
Each of these "categories" has associated settings (level slider, icon to mute or unmute sound, balance).
What "category" do you have?
What is the PC? I would like to be able to identify why some have this "problem," because it is one! The random beeping is intense...
