    DataShield,

    The only way it could be done would be thru the BIOS, and at this time nobody has found a working BIOS update that addresses this, and Averatec support seems completly unaware that this is an option. I have located some BIOS upgrades that are CLOSE...but close dosent work in the world of BIOS flashing...only elections and nuclear weapons.

    a per use remedy is to plug something into the line out port. Then all sound will be redirected to that port. Including the POST beep.
