    Does anyone know how to stop that initial startup noise whenver you open/turn on your VAIO? I have it for class, and if I take it out after the class has started, it really disrupts class, and everyone turns around and stares at me.... :eek: ..... how can I mute this? It's not the windows startup, I can mute that, it's the actual VAIO startup screen itself.

    Thanks..

    hey there...to disable the VAIO animation sound u need to access the BIOS...when you turn on your VAIO for the first time keep pressing "F2" till it goes into the BIOS...then hit right to go to the "Advanced" tab up...scroll down to "Speaker Volume" (under "Show VAIO Animation Logo") and change that to "0" from woteva it was...now save changes and reboot and the sound should be muted... :)

    does this just mute the startup, or the whole computer?

    okey here is another option to mute startup sound without entering your BIO set up..go to VAIO control center from start button and then all program or control panel then Performance and Maintenance.lunch VAIO control center then you will see initial setting double click to initial setting then you will see-show boot animation box in lower side. now I hope you know what you have to do....
