I, like most people where I work, have my computer speakers muted. I don't want my PC to make noise and bother other people every time I get an e-mail and the like, and they do the same.
Have you ever been working in the office on the command-line, or run a tool that uses it, hit an error, and suddenly your PC is beeping like you've just poked it in the eye while it's taking a nap? Maybe it's not been you, but you know of other people in your team that start to beep every now and again? Ooo it bugs me! And its twice as embarrassing if it's your own code! :-)
If you don't know what I'm talking about, open a new command prompt, press Ctrl-G, and hit enter.
The problem is that the windows system beep normally comes from the motherboard's own speaker, rather than your 'normal' stereo speakers, and therefore isn't controlled by the system volume.
Luckily there is a very quick and painless solution posted by Gina Trapani. Apply it to your own machine, or send it on to colleagues. My team has been happily without the windows beep for some time!
