Low Battery Noise

is there any way to disable the beeping when the battery hits 10% on the ifl90? i would like to avoid being in class and having my computer beeping. even if i turn the alarms in the control panel completely off, it still beeps. i'm using xp.

 

Try this, open the Volume Control panel. Click on the Options menu in the upper left corner. On the list of "Show the following volume controls" look for PC Speaker. If it's there, make sure it is checked, then click OK. Back at the Volume Control panel mute the PC Speaker slider.

If that doesn't work, rather than disable the alarms completely try turning just the sound off of them, by going to Alarms and then clicking Alarm Action and unchecking Sound. Do it for the Critical and Low battery alarm, naturally.

If that still doesn't do it, you can try going to the Sound and Audio devices section of Control Panel, then go to the Sounds section and in the lsit of Windows sounds disable the Critical battery alarm sound and the low battery if it's there.

As you probably already know, you can test these settings quickly by moving the alarm level to 1% less than whatever your current battery level is, that way it will go off after a minute or less, depending on your battery consumption.

If muting the PC speaker, turning off the sounds under the individual alarms, and providing no sounds for it to use in the Windows sound scheme still doesn't make it stop beeping I'm at a loss to explain it. The IFL90 manual mentions nothing about any settings in the BIOS that might do it, and barring that I'm out of possible solutions.

 

well, i tried changing the alarm to go at 98% battery, and there was no beep when i used this, so it may have worked. EDIT: yeah, that definitely fixed it. thanks!

i tried this earlier and it did not fix the problem
