239775 2004-05-27 20:38:00 When I adjust the volume control, the computer beep sounds from the internal speaker, instead of the bong sound from the external speakers. How can I get the correct sound back? Laserman (5686)
239776 2004-05-27 21:07:00 Thats normal behaviour.

Any lack of sound is unrelated I would suggest, the speaker beep is a normal function.

Does your sound not work at all?

239777 2004-05-28 06:20:00 Yes the sound functions correctly, but the volume beep used to come out of the multimedia speakers plugged into the sound card. For the last couple of months it has been a beep the same as the POST beep at boot up. I have reinstalled my w2k for some other problems and I thought it would fix this at the same time, but it still beeps from the internal system speaker. Laserman (5686)
239778 2004-05-28 06:43:00 It should have always come out of the PC speaker, perhaps as well as the sound card. If it was using the sound card as well, then it would have not been so obvious it was happening in both places.

The reason it always uses the speaker is that even with sound muted it will signal that it has acknowledged your adjustment.

Perhaps something has been adjusted in Control Panel - Sounds to prevent it using the sound card? Certainly none of my systems have used the sound card by default, all use the speaker (but only if the volume control is adjusted via the control panel, and not by the use of the keyboard)

239779 2004-05-28 07:15:00 I had the same problem. Win XP Pro with AC97 sound. After a format, it came back to the normal speakers, instead of out of the box. mejobloggs (264)
