Have you ever used a VMWare image and experienced the annoying beep every time a dialog box is displayed or an error happens. It was driving me nuts for months.
I tried turning off the VM speaker, attach the host sound card to the VM, change configuration settings but nothing seems to stop the beep.
Guess what, there is a simple fix... Go to the command prompt on your VM and type
C:\> net stop beep
If you see the message above, Voila... there goes the Beep!
Have a peaceful (no beep) day !
[Updated…]
FYI, you’ll have to do this every time the VM is rebooted.
A permanent solution is to disable the hidden “Beep” device in device manager.
Right-click “My Computer”/ Properties/ Hardware tab / Device Manager Button / “View” in the toolbar / select “show hidden devices” / expand the “Non-Plug and Play Driver” node / right-click “Beep” and click disable
