| interesting... Sorry about that, I didn't realize that they ever mounted piezo's to motherboards. I have however seen piezo's that can be pinned to the speaker slot on the MoBo. |

Yeah, I had an IBM PC 340 once, and I wanted to turn off that speaker. I opened the case, and looked all around for the speaker, but couldn't find one. I was puzzled. "Where would IBM hide that?" I thought to myself. Much later, I browsed the IBM web site, and looked up that PC 340 out of curiosity. On the design specs, I found that integrated piezo speaker. Mystery solved!
The only reason I wanted to turn off the PC speaker was because sometimes I stay up late while my family sleeps (playing DOS games). I kinda like its sounds anyway.
The IBM PC 340 has a Socket 7 Pentium-1 motherboard made around 1996. |

I've seen many BIOSes, and they have NO option concerning the volume of the PC speaker. (I'm a computer technician - A+ certified).
If anyone out there finds a BIOS Setup option for PC Speaker volume, let me know.
Albeit, Windows 2000 and XP allow you to disable the PC Speaker through Device Manager, though. |

I can confirm that Windows 2000 does in fact allow you to mute or adjust the volume of the PC speaker right through the volume control in your systray. (Yes, I am aware that ME is not the same as 2000. I am NOT running ME, I AM running 2000 pro.)
I had a screenshot, but windows 2000 pro MSPaint doesn't let you save out or bmp format. |
