Disable System Sounds [3000 N500]

I hope this is not a double post
Please advise on how to disable the system sounds on a Lenovo 3000 N500. I'm reffering to the very annoying "beep" at critical battery power, or plug/unplug of the AC Adapter.
I have disabled all the sounds in Vista CP, but that didn't solve the problem.
thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This worked on my Lenovo 3000 N500:
In "Control Panel" open "sound",Then in sound, in the "Playback" tab, double click on the "speakers" icon. This will open up a "speaker properties window. Click on the "Levels" tab and this will show two areas, speakers and PC speaker, click on the little speaker icon for the pc speaker and it should show a circle with a slash through it showing that the pc speaker is disabled. Click OK or apply whichever is highlighted.

KDE4.1: Disable System Sounds

Hey all
I'm using the KDE4.1 daily svn builds. Does anyone know how to disable ALL system sounds?

Oh, this would be like the first thing I want to know about kde4.1 I hate those sounds, they are annoying at best. But I have failed to find the way to turn them off.

Problem with the "lenovo Rescue And Recovery" system. (lenovo 3000 N500).

hi!
yesterday i ran Kaspersky virus scan tool and it detect file named "tvtfilter.sys" as suspicious file and thefore delet it.
today when i was restart my laptop, i got error message on startup that say:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrservice.exe" abnormal program termination.
after some google search i've understand that "tvtfilter.sys" was critical file of "Rescue And Recovery" system.
so, any one with "Rescue And Recovery" running on his laptop can upload for me this file?
it's located in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DIRVERS\" and it's name is "tvtfilter.sys"
thank you!
BTW, ive tried to re-install it but it wont let me because of some error message

Hi eitrnel,
Just a thought: give a try to un-intsall the Rescue and Recovery from the Control Panel first before re-installing it.

Disable system sounds while on headphones?

Is that possible? Hate when the sound turns on and off in the headphones while not activly using it.

I looked around and this was the only way to silence the alert sounds. Unfortunatly it appears to be a global speakers/headphone setting. Yes I realize it's a pain, but that's the only way I could get it to work, as when it detects either headphones or speakers it stays at the last settings. Sorry I could not find another option, maybe someone else might have a way to do this, but from the lack of additional posts, it would leave me to beleive that this is the way it written. Hope this makes it a little more tolerable. All the best, SJP

System sounds (alarms), Bios update and Linux

Hello
Sory for my very bad English
I have a Lenovo 3000 G530, under Linux (Mandriva 2010 X86_64), and it works fine. My only "problem" is the system sound of charge battery (beep when plug/unplug adapter).... It's not a minor problem : there are many circumstances where we want to be silent .... and these sounds are horrible.
One issue to resolve this problem is to correct it in the Bios settings. But in my Bios, no options for that. On the other hand, I've found an update Bios (http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_1350.html#) 0CCN52WW version (I actualy use 0CCN48WW).
So
1 Can somebody tell me if the 0CCN52WW Biosmakes possible to disable system sounds alarms ? Before flashing Bios, I want to be sure this will solve the problem ...
2 This Bios can create other problems ?
3 Is there a method to flash without using Windows (creating bootable CD) ?
Thank you
YL

System sounds cause gnome to freeze on startup

So far I've found six threads describing this problem, but all remain unresolved. So please excuse my starting yet another thread but I thought it would be the best way to bump them all.
Situation - new to Archlinux but not to Linux. I managed a network install of the base system and then added xorg, gnome and a few bits and pieces and got it all going, more or less. The problem is that sometimes when gnome starts up after the login screen, it freezes after loading the top and bottom panels. Usually the Applications/Places/System menus are visible, and sometimes the workspace switcher on the bottom panel, but no other panel app icons, nor desktop icons. There is a mouse pointer visible which I can move around but left and right clicking do nothing. Usually I can get into a virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-F1, but sometimes I get no response from the keyboard at all and I have to push the computer reset button to reboot. The following threads seem to describe the same problem:
This one. The OP suggests deleting ~/.gnome2/session but there ain't no such file/directory on my system.
That one.
Yonder one.
Another one!
Oh no! Yet another one.
The plot thickens. A clue.
I can confirm the OP's finding in the last thread. Enabling system sounds causes the problem. Deleting the ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/sound directory (not, ~/.gconf/gnome/sound) means that gnome starts up OK, but disconcertingly quietly.
So - any solutions? Any way to get gnome and all the bells, whistles, cheeps and chirrups?
Oh - and I'm enjoying Arch. I'm posting from a (silent) Arch desktop now. I needed a challenge after Gentoo.

Thanks for your comments.
I updated today which included esd-0.2.38-1, the new kernel, and other bits, but I still get a lockup if I disable system sounds. But one useful thing (for me). I installed KDE over the weekend - and it plays its sounds OK. Before that if I had a gnome freeze I had to go into a virtual terminal, take out the ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/sound directory and reboot. But now, when gnome froze, I ctl-alt-backspace'd, and then logged into KDE which played me a merry tune just to keep my spirits up. I was then able to delete the sound directory, log out and then log back into a now thawed out, albeit silent, gnome.
Avoids a reboot - which is good.
By the way. Now I've got two wastebin icons (one labelled Trash, the other Wastebin) on my gnome desktop courtesy of KDE. I know why, and I've come across this irritation before, but is there any way of getting rid of the extra desktop icon in gnome without losing the KDE one? I've never figured this one out.

Disable all system sounds

Wondering if there was a way to disable all system sounds.
I'm sick of hearing that annoying beep sound the x60 has when I boot up and stuff.
I recently disabled all windows system sounds, and now I get that hardware sounding beeb whenever I get a new email in outlook.
I'm trying to listen to music for god sakes, I don't want any sounds!!!!
Thanks guys!

System sound disables app sound.

Certain apps unexpectedly have this issue. This applies to Garageband for example.
It has been like this forever, and it hasn't been fixed.

Drivers for Lenovo 3000 N500 4233-5FG notebook

Hi everybody!
yesterday I became my brandnew N500 4233-5FG notebook. Here are the specifications:
http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_NS75Fxx?open&OpenDocument&epi=web_express
A friend of mine and I tried to install Win XP, but most of the drivers from the lenovo support HP don´t work. We´ve read lots of threads in this forum and all over the internet, but nothing helped!
Here is what we did till here:
1.switch from sata to ide
2.forcing the notebook to boot with the optical drive, because otherwise it showed no reaction on the Win Xp CD
3.installing Win XP
4.installing the drivers from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/product.do?template=%2Fproductpage%2...
5.Win XP "runs" but almost all the drivers are announcing conflicts and as consequence nothing works (sound, LAN, and so on)
6.then we installed the net framework and tried the drivers described by the user voyager in this thread:
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=N_Series_Lenovo_3000&thread.id=8077&view=by_date...
7.nothing worked
8.then we installed Service Pack 3 for Win XP an tried again the drivers from the lenovo HP.
9.there was no improvement, which means there are always the same problems as at the beginning...
10. as it was 4 o clock in the morning and we had a very long day, we decided to go to sleep... ;.))
Can anybody help me and/or has anybody experience with exactly the same notebook than i have?? (n500 4233-5FG)
It would be very helpfull to have some suggestions on how to do it right or perhaps anybody knows something about were to find the right drivers?!?
Thank in advance and lots of greetings,
Daniel

I reviewed the link provided for your Lenovo 3000 N500 [Model Name: 42335FG, Part Number: NS75Fxx]
Link:
http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_NS75Fxx?open&OpenDocument&epi=web_expr...
At the bottom of the configuration table, under "SOFTWARE", it says "Supported operating systems" PC DOS 2000 (limited), Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium.
It doesn't appear that the 3000 N500 [Model Name: 42335FG, Part Number: NS75Fxx] is intended to support XP.
What am I missing here?

Error while trying to install Rescue & Recovery 4.3 on Lenovo 3000 N500

Well, hello to everyone.
I hope you can understand this, because my English is not very good.
So, let's get to the point.
Recently, I tried to install Rescue & Recovery on my Lenovo 3000 N500. But when everything is nearing completion, I get the message that states: "Rescue & Recovery can only be installed on some systems."
Please explain me a bit this "in some systems," because I've had before the Rescue & Recovery. I do not understand why I can not install it now.
I appreciate your help in advance

Hi,
the key point is that RnR application can be installed only on some systems (especially ThinkPads)
This is due to the fact, that these systems have some functions, like the F11 key, hardcoded in the machine and can thus use the full quality of this application.
Unfortunately system like yours is not supported by this application, so you will not be able to install, nor use it.
Cheers

Lost system sounds, then all sound gone even after installing a Live! 24-bit ca

I'm having a migraine over a computer at work. It has Windows Xp Pro installed as the OS, and originally had an integrated sound card. At some point, before I was even hired in, the system sounds stopped playing. The BIOS for the machine showed that sounds were On. The Windows Default sound scheme was selected, nothing was muted, volume was cranked, no system sounds. When you even tried to test system sounds in Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Sounds Tab, the Play button was greyed out. At one points CD's and other sounds could be played. Now nothing plays, with an error stating the device is not working properly, or is in use. So today I installed a SoundBlaster Li've! 24-bit PCI card. Card went in, installed all the drivers, installed all software from the install CD, opened the Creative sound manager to test the speakers. Clicked the 'Channel' button and 'Left Channel' was heard from the left speak, and 'Right Channel' from the right. Clicked the noice button, both speakers played noise. So card works and speakers work far as I know. However same old story with system sounds and any other sound, no matter the sound file type. Cannot play music from a CD. I've tried disabling the old integrated sound device, still no luck. I've never had this much trouble over sound, and of course as luck would have it the machine is for a user with a ton of sensiti've and very important data so I want wiping the system to be an extreme last resort (the user is also important enough to bother with the demand for sound for the sole purpose of hearing the .wav sound played when Outlook gets a new e-mail otherwise I would not have spent more then 5 seconds dealing with this.) Anyone have any tiny clue as to what could effecti'vely tell a machine it's not allowed to play any sound whatsoever?

well.....in what ways it isn't good and what are you comparing it with?

How do you disable the sound when sending tweets from "Click to Tweet" in the Notification Center?

So, ever since the "Click to Tweet" button appeared, anytime you post to Twitter with it, your heard a bird whistling sound. This was cute at first, but has become increasingly annoying (and probably not just to me, but also to my co-workers). Sure, I could mute my speakers prior to sending, but a.) I usually forget, and b.) I shouldn't have to.
In a similar manner, the "Click to Post" to Facebook button makes the "woosh" noise that Mail.app makes when sending an email.
These sounds should be able to be disabled or muted. The only solution I've found online so far is to move/rename/change permissions of the actual sound file itself on the file system. That seems way to extreme.
In summary: am I just missing some obvious setting, or is there really no way to mute/disable these sounds?

The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf
That's it. Your Tweets should hereinafter be silent unless you change TwitterSent.caf's permissions again.

Disable onboard sound

How do I disable onboard sound on a KT4 Ultra? I have Bouston Acoustic (sold by gateway) speakers that require Direct Digital Output to work and it does not seem to be supported by c-media. So I have to install my soundblaster Live! Can anyone help me either disable on-board sound or get the on-board to support Direct Digital output?
Thanks
Edward Nash

you can uninstall the drivers for the onborad sound. To reinstall your sound blaster remove it from Device Manager and restart your machine and follow the makers instructions, either point the system to the drivers or use the installer, which ever they recommend.

Did you remember disable the integrated (onboard) audio and uninstall it's drivers/software?
Have you tagged the "Use only preferred devices" -option on Windows Audio config (on same page you set the Sound Play/Recording and MIDI playback devices)?

[SOLVED]XMMS stops playing when KDE plays a system sound!

Well the subject says it all... if KDE reports an error or something... and plays a sound... XMMS stops playing... it's really annoying...
I use ALSA for the sound server and for XMMS output... never had these problems on other distros...

I assume you are using ARTS for kde sounds ?
Try setting the auto-suspend delay to 0 , Control center > sound and multimedia > sound system , general tab
If that doesn't help, disable the sound system.
In order to get kde to play system sounds without ARTS :
Control center > sound and multimedia > system notifications > player settings > use an external player
the play command from the sox package works very well.
