NoteIf you do not see a Non plug and play Drivers section in the Device Manager, skip to the Motherboard jumper section below.
- In the Beep properties window, click the Driver tab.
- On the Driver tab, if you want to temporarily disable this device, click the Stop button. If you want to permanently disable this device, under the Startup type, select Disabled.
Motherboard jumper
If the steps above don't disable the internal speaker (i.e., there's no Non plug and play Drivers section), the internal speaker can be disabled by the motherboard jumpers. Many motherboard manufacturers have jumpers that, when jumped or not jumped, enable or disable the onboard speaker.
All motherboards are different. Refer to the motherboard's documentation to determine if your motherboard has such a jumper, and how it should be set.
Motherboard cable
Some motherboards do not have an onboard speaker and instead use a computer case speaker that can be removed to disable the speaker. Refer to the motherboard or computer's documentation to determine if your computer is set up this way.
