[AccessD] OT: Compaq Evo Internal Speaker

I've already been in the BIOS... NOTHING.... 

I tried the system speaker that Rusty has tried previous to my original post
as well... NOTHING

and the volume control "PC Speaker" Does not exist.... even under Advanced
Options.... 

However I did find a way around it... 

if you plug your ear phones into the jack that you are supposed to plug
external speakers into it automatically turns off the internal speaker... it
would've been nice to find that in some documentation somewhere...

anyway, thanks for the input... 

later, 

Rich

On my win2k machine, if I go to Control Panel, then System, then click on
the Hardware tab, then the Device Manager button, expand the System Devices
item and scroll down until I find System Speaker.  You can righ click on
System Speaker and there should be an option to disable it.

Hello all,

Sorry about the OT but I'm running out of places to turn. 

I have Compaq Evo 1.5mhz computer at work running Win 2k.

The company got involved in online training that has sound incorporated,
however do not want to bother any surrounding patrons, so I figure I'd plug
my headphones into the Headphone jack in the front, and turn the speaker off
so that no one could hear and I could turn it up a little. 

Well Guess What.. you can't turn the freegin internal speaker off, its
always on.. at least I can't find it.. I am hoping someone out there has an
EVO and could tell me if there is a way to turn this internal speaker off. I
even opened the case, you can't even unplug the stupid thing. YET another
reason to hate Compaq in my book.. 

thanks,

Rich
