Very loud and VERY annoying BEEP on Vostro

I keep etting a very loud and annoying beep from my vostro , henever a warnign message or something like that pops up , it hurts my ears and shocks me so bad , how can i disable this beep? I tried to disable all sounds in windows but i doubt it would be one of them anyway since its way too loud and it sounds like a bios thing ! , please help me !

 

I had the same exact problem...except I had headphones on...I could have sworn my ears were goign to bleed. At my office they guys in a different room could easily hear the noise coming from my earbuds...ridiculous.

Go to the volume icon and I go to the very right volume scroll, I think it says "PC speaker" (if you don't see it go to the advanced options...sorry, I'm booted in Vista right now or else I'd know how to orient you better), you have to mute it...turning down the volume doesn't affect the volume of the beep for some reason. It worked for me. Good luck.

 

Thanks, it worked for me too. I have a vostro 1500 running xp. The sound card is sigmatel audio. Following are the steps
1) go to volume control
2) go to options
3) go to properties and select playback
4) at the bottom of the list (I have) pc speaker - check it
5) then in the volume control it shows the pc speaker - check mute
