    Has anyone figured out a way to disable the LOUD "beep" that happens when you use the Fn key to adjust teh volume up or down? On my 160/P, when you first hit the keys to adjust the volume, it makes a single VERY loud BEEEP. Needless to say...at times when you feel the need to lower the volume, the last thing you want is to first cause the loudest beep possible. Also, when you're making a presentation, and simply want to adjust vol., your presentation is whacked with this annoying beep.

    Is there a way to disable it so that you ONLY change the volume...rather than sustaining "ear assault"???

    Thanks to anyone who may have an answer on this.

    I don't have a beep, but then again my Fn volume adjust doesn't actually do anytjhing other than display on the screen that it is... but still doesn't actually do anything. Brightness works though.
