Disclaimer: "Beep" is not used as an euphemistic substitute for any expletive. If you thought so, shame on you.
My Dell Latitude D520 kept literally beeping all the time for no reason. I logged into a remote server and opened Oracle Applications. Everytime I saved a record or submitted a program, my laptop beeped, even though I had the system muted and all sounds disabled. This happened even when I was working on Personal Express. I had to log into PE through SNAPI for the beep to stop. And take it from me, it can get VERY Annoying to be working amidst thousands of beeps a day!!!
Then I googled for a solution. And lo! I was not disappointed, coz 1. Many people were facing the same problem (yayyy!!!!)
2. And someone had actually found a solution and put it up on the net.
So if you dont get to the kind soul's page, and you've come so far here, here is the solution (it actually works):
Go to Device Manager and choose "Show Hidden Devices" from the View menu. Right Click on "Beep" and disable it. Now this requires system restart to take effect, as with any changes to the device properties, and hence make sure you are not in the middle of anything very important. After the restart the sound "poye pochu"!!!!!
My personal laptop is an Inspiron 6400, and hasnt shown this behaviour so far. Touchwood.
Anyway, Thanks for all the kind souls on the net. May you all face more problems and find more solutions.
