Its worked for most things, but when I turn the volume up manually I can still hear the beep.

I followed the instructions up to the “Non Plug And Play Drivers” select “Beep”. In my desperation to get rid of the volume control beep, I chose “Uninstall” instead of “Properties”. Now the “Beep” driver is gone and I can not start over again and follow the instructions carefully this time.
Is there a way to re-install the “Beep” driver so that I can get into the “Beep Properties” window?
In this tutorial there is a section called Disabling the System Beep from the Control Panel.
Follow the instructions in that one and see if it works. If you uninstalled it, you might not hear the beep at all.

I tried both methods for disabling that annoying beep and neither worked. What’s worse, this was an issue when I first got my computer a month ago and these instructions worked. SOMEthing happened to make the beep start up again today and I’m desperate to make it stop. Any other suggestions? I don’t think uninstalling is what I want. (?) Thanks
This sounds strange. Are you sure you keep hearing the System Beep and not something else, like the Windows startup sound or, maybe a sound scheme?

It wasn’t the system start-up sound, but a little beep everytime I opened a new IE window. I finally gave up and did a system restore 3 days back and now it’s gone. No idea what happened, but some changes had automatically happened with the opening of an un-solicited email from “groupons” and when I tried to block their address…what a hassle!

Didn’t work for me – there’s no Beep device, hidden or otherwise, and the default beep in the control panel isn’t the annoying system beep. My laptop still beeps loudly upon startup, shutdown, plugging in, unplugging, and when the battery is about to die (all before the regular Windows sound effect plays)

I am getting very annoying device connect/disconnect beeps. I don’t want to disable beeps. I wan’t to identify where it is coming from. Is there some place in events manager or elsewhere to identify where beeps are coming from. I think virtualbox and/or my virtual cd/iso drive is involved, but not sure.

Hey, thanks for the help. My laptop screen broke a while ago. The system sound would beep seven times repeatedly on startup to notify that there was a critical connection error with the screen but would stop shortly after it detected the external display. A windows update later and now it won’t stop even after it connects. I followed your tutorials but I don’t think this notification is accessible through the windows explorer. Any idea of how to fix this?

Hello, I did all the activities described in the article, but beep still sounds!
My system is an Acer Aspire 5738ZG with Windows 7 Professional SP1.
These beeps are very unpleasant since I use the PC to play music
Any help will be appreciated!

It didn’t work for me. I have a Toshiba laptop, originally a system 7 OS and updated to Windows 10 OS. I’ve gone through every sound and tested each. I’ve turned off default beep (none) selected. I’ve run troubleshooter, I’ve done all that I could to find an answer and yours was my best hope, sadly, no success.

This would not work on my laptop so i plowed trhough the registry and found some interesting keys that i changed. I have not heard any beeps for 15 minutes now. 🙂 Try to copy this text and save to a file for example: nobeep.reg :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Just ran in to this issue, windows 10.0.17134.590.
Solution: disable the Beep driver. I used a tool called ProcessHacker – it’s just a fancy task manager replacement. ProcessHacker will display the Beep driver under the services tab.
Solution: Since the beep driver isn’t surfaced in the windows 10 UI, I used a tool called ProcessHacker – it’s just a fancy task manager replacement. ProcessHacker will display the Beep driver under the services tab.
