    Not that I know of.... Personally I'd just pull out the cable.
    Then you don't get the POST beep either...

    If you find out a less intrusive way, let me know!

      If the speaker is connected to the soundcard, you might be able to mute that output it in the soundcard properties.

      Personally, I'd just pull the cable. It's socketed anyway, easy to put back on.

          You may be able to turn it off in the BIOS.

          Or just go to Device Manager > System Speaker
          and try disabling it. You might have to show
          hidden devices to be able to view it.

            wombat: no, its not connected to the sound card, it would be useless to me if i did because the only time i really need the beeps is during the bios initialization, which is when the sound card doesnt beep.

            cbman: no i don't want to bother with that.

            orangejulius: hmm, i tried that once, it didn't work for some reason. will try again though
