Scripting List solutions: Disabling the system beep

Question:

Is there an easy script I can run that will disable the system beep? This is listed under device manager (showing hidden devices) –Non Plug-Play Hardware- … Beep.

This is the same “beep” you get from the internal system speaker during post. We no longer want this to happen. It is occurring during a pop up which causes the users to complain.

Solution 1:

sc \\remoteMachine stop beep && sc \\remoteMachine config beep start= disabled

Or, this command can be pushed via bat file through SMS:

sc stop beep && sc config beep start= disabled

Notes:

  • SC.exe is included with Windows XP and Server 2003 and is available in the resource kit for Windows 2000.
  • The command after the && will only execute if the previous command was successful. See Command shell overview and The Windows NT Command Shell for more info.

Solution 2:

Net Stop Beep && Reg Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Beep /v Start /d 4 /t REG_DWORD /f
