WIFI and other beeps -- hackalicious solution found!

[Guest Dster]

Edit: I created a short, silent .wav file that I called "Default.wav". I replaced the Default.wav in my windows directory on my S710.

Problem solved!

If mobileregistryeditor had a search function I would have gone through and disabled all references to this sound file (since playing a short, silent file uses more resources than not playing a file).

If anyone has the time or inclination to find references to Default.wav in your registry, please post!

----------------------------------------------------------------

I've turned off sounds for everything except alarm and ringer.

When browsing contacts, and holding up or down long enough to go to letter navigation, I get a loud beep when I let go of the up/down.

I have the WIFI beep also -- it sounds the same. The WIFI beep only seems to appear when it turns off or on due to sleep mode on or off.

Any suggestions out there?

I want to disable ALL my beeps!

It's in a few places:

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\System\DefaultSound

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\SystemVolumeSound\DefaultSound

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceVolumeSound\DefaultSound

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SystemDefault\Sound

I don't have the time / inclination to work out exactly which one is the offender though :rolleyes:

Where exactly is the default.wav? Can't seem to find it...

Where exactly is the default.wav? Can't seem to find it...

It's located in the main Windows directory.

[Guest Bunecarera]

Problem is, I can't seem to edit that file. I can't even open the map on my computer...

[Guest Pr0sper]

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\System\DefaultSound

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\SystemVolumeSound\DefaultSound

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceVolumeSound\DefaultSound

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SystemDefault\Sound

Anybody knows which one of these is for the ugly sound when clicking the voice button next to the volume control ? It's very annoying IMO.

And which one is to disable the wifi beep? Its driving me nuts!

[Guest Bunecarera]

making a silent default beep eventually did the trick for me...

And which one is to disable the wifi beep? Its driving me nuts!

Changed all the above registry keys to unique values, and even rebooted after change:-

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\System\DefaultSound - \My Documents\Notes\Recording1.wav

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\SystemVolumeSound\DefaultSound - \My Documents\Notes\Recording2.wav

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceVolumeSound\DefaultSound - \My Documents\Notes\Recording3.wav

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SystemDefault\Sound - \My Documents\Notes\Recording4.wav

None of those affect the Wifi Beep or the Voice Tag beeps.

Perhaps it's hard coded to use Default.wav

There's a file called \Windows\sdsilence.wav.

You could copy that and called it Default.wav to save you creating one. It's only 124 bytes.

This does indeed stop the Wifi beep (nice one Dster :rolleyes: ).

The Voice Tag beeps are a mystery

I'll have a snoop around, see what I can find!

Hmmm, nothing obvious for either the WiFi beep or the Voice Dial beeps sadly :rolleyes:

Why not just turn System sounds OFF in profiles, that is what I have done, no more irritating beep from WLAN :rolleyes:...

Hmm, I listened to every single tone in the \Windows folder, but I didn't find the Voice Dial tone.. :P

Hey everybody,

If you want to turn of (or lower) the bip sound when you initiat a call, you have to modifiy the following value:

1. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart

2. Change the InitVol value to 0 (or 1 to lower)

It works "fine" but the problem is when you change profile, you have to modify again the registy keys...

Any help???

I used the above for the wifi beep. Worked a treat.

Thanks
