PC Sound

[Guest puppypaws]

I use the beep and screen flash feature on the " caps Lock " button. I have a

new computer (still running XP Pro) and cannot increase the PC sound. The

slide is at the higest level and not muted in the PC sound in audio control.

I cannot get the beep tone to change by any method.

Those sounds are made through the computer's system speaker, probably a

small piezo speaker, and the volume most likely cannot be increased. If

it can, it might be possible in the BIOS settings.

Re: PC Sound

 

you can experiment with this:

1. search for "sound recorder" on your hard drive

2. find file on which you want to change volume

3. enter file name into sound recorder and change volume

with "effects" menu

4. save changed file

 

note: i've used "sound recorder" for changing volume in other

files, may or may not work in your case

Not likely! If he's desperate, he could move the piezoelectric speaker

(or just get a new one) and mount it closer to an opening in the case.
