Help; Turn off Sound

I have tried everything to get sounds turned off for any and everything in Mail.
I exported all my mailboxes. Then threw out the entire mail folder from my home library folder; deleted all preferences related to mail from my preference folder.
Setup all my accounts again, Gmail, Mobile Me, and one Exchange account.
I am unable to turn off the new mail sound. I have it unchecked in Mail preferences including; having no sounds for any other actions.
I am sure it is something simple but no idea what.
Osx 10.6.4; updated.

thanks for any suggestions.

Of course it is a big deal!
The shutter sound is very annoying when you snap a pic in a lecture hall, museum, zoo, theatre, school, etc. Covering the speaker is not a realistic option. The invention of digital cameras without moving parts made it possible to shoot pictures without bothering your enviroment with undesired noise. By forcing a synthetic shutter sound down our throat Nokia turned back the clock.
That camera noise is not just inconvenient, it's more than that. Should we allow a handful of countries with mandatory shutter sound to force their rules onto the entire world? In some places you enter a legal minefield if you have a beer with your picknick in the park. Should we let brewers force-feed us their version of a digital shutter sound in the form of an unremovable brown paper bag on each and every bottle on the planet?

Turning off sound alerts altogether

I've plugged in headphones to my iBook, but get annoying sound effects as I work in Microsoft Word, with sounds everytime I cut/paste, drag a word, etc. and at the same volumn as the music I'm listening to on the headphones. I work a lot on Word and want to turn off sound alerts altogether but don't see that option.

Did you look in your Word Preferences?
In my version (Word 2004) in Prefences:General is a checkbox

How to turn off sound when taking a video

debrafromusa,
This would be an extremely bad idea, the start up tone is there for a reason. It tells you when your system is attempting to boot, it is also necessary in the even resets like a PRAM reset are done. There is software to mask the sound however as stated it is a very poor idea.
Also, why turn it off. Why not simply put the display to sleep when the machine is not in use. You can easily do that in System Preferences - Energy Saver

Will not: rotate screen, camera will not work, iPad will not turn off, sound on side.

Ipad will not turn off, sound button does not work, camera does not work, screen will not rotate. Have new ios and update.

Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Cannot turn off sound alarm in Blackberry protect

I tried the blackberry protect . I initated the sound if the unit is lost or misplaced . My phone started making a sound which was good but then I could not turn it off. I tried to cancel on the web site on the cancel button but it did not work. Eventually I had to take the unit off of blackberry protect and take the battery out. How do you turn the sound off without removing the battery?

How do you turn off sounds when using phone?

I know this question is not appropriate for this forum but I cannot find where it should go. I want to turn off the sounds when I am using my phone, e.g., when I am texting, each time I press a key it make a sound. If I turn down the volume then I cannot hear it ring so this is not the answer.
I have the Nokia 7020 phone. I cannot find any help in the userguide, only how to change ring tones. Anyone have any idea? Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On my Lumia 900, it's under Settings -> ringtones+sounds, scroll to the bottom where there is a list of check boxes, and uncheck "Key press". Not sure it's the same for your phone, though.

Flash button to turn off sound

Can anyone help please! I want to add sound to a webpage but
offer the user a chance to turn it off. I thought I could create a
Flash button and asign a behaviour to turn the sound on and off but
can't make it work..Any advice very welcome - thanks ....
Heather

Sure this can be done and is known as a 'toggle' button. What
you need to do is make a MC with two 'states', 'off' and 'on' with
labels just like that. then you will control the MC button from the
on handlers, and use a boolean variable to determine which 'state'
the button is in, and then execute the opposite state.
A Sound Object is a sound class instance that you can use to
control the playback of a sound from that is attached from the
Library or load a streaming sound from your sever (in this code I
chose the latter as an example), rather than placing the sound on
the timeline, saving file space and download time (I'm assuming
this may be BG music). Using a Sound object also gives you more
control over the sound.
So with you MC set up, a sound in the same directory as the
fla/swf files, then add this kind of code to the main timeline
where the button (MC) resides, I'll call the button instance
'mute_btn':

How to turn off sound Ipaq mini when charging

I still kepp My Ipaq mini on , then I turn off screen only. Plugin charge . But later , It make noisy short sound , and repeat all time un till i disconect charge . Even I Power off , I paq automatic on again and sounding while charging . I don;t want to minimum sound from setting. But I want to disable that sound . Someone help?

I have to agree this is the most annoying thing about the iPhone. The chirp when it charges. I had a situation the other night where my phone was on analog roam (uses a lot of power) and ever couple of minutes it would chirp (assume it was because it found a network, charged, and then went analog and discharged and the cycle repeated!!).
The phone was next to my bed since I use it as an alarm clock. Basically using the mute switch toatally makes the iPhone usesless as an alarm clock which is why it was next to my bed! Apple seriously needs to fix this issue.
Dear Apple, please make the battery notification sound user selectable. Thanks.

Want to turn off sound when capturing HD from tape

Is there a setting to turn the sound "off" when capturing from tape into an HD project -- so that I can continue to use other programs (like iTunes) while capturing, without hearing the audio from what's being captured?

Larry,
I don't know if I can offer help on your question, but depending on your computer set up, I personally would try to avoid running any other programs when using FC, especially during a tape transfer.
I'm wondering if the volume controller on the camera itself might also adjust the loudness coming from the transfer in FC without actually affecting the sound transfer.

How can I turn off sound controll whele on the Satellite A200

How can I turn off the external sound controll in front of laptop - the wheel? It does not work, sound volume is permanently muted.
OS: MS Windows XP
Thanks

Thank you Jaba,
it is Toshiba Satellite A200 Series. Drivers, its configuration and configuration of operating system is OK. The wheel is mechanical damaged, so that is the point. I have to disable its function in operating system. But where can I disable it? I have tried to uninstall Toshiba utilities (controls, hotkeys), reinstall drivers. I have tried to find an option in BIOS, there was no one.
btw: I am a linux administrator, but I have advanced knowledge of windows systems so you can be short.

How do i turn off sound and text notifications?

I find both the text and sound notifications very annoying. I do not play games or do anything other than work on this computer. When I unchecked the "show a notification" and "play a sound" boxes, the notifications and sounds do not turn off. I also prepared a 5 second sound file of silence and checked the "Play a Sound" and "use the following sound" boxes with the name of the silence in the required field. Nothing has worked. I don't like being disturbed when I work. I have done the checking and unchecking before restarting and also starting the computer up after a complete shut down.

If you unchecked the option in Thunderbird then I doubt that is where the notification is coming from. MACs are notorious for supplying an additional notification. I would check your operating system for the source of the notification.

I can't turn off sound alerts for mail arrival

I have Mail in Lion configured to not play a sound when mail arrives. However, recently a sound started playing. It's still turned off in the config. I suspect a bug in a recent update to Lion. Has anyone else noticed this?

No wonder nobody else had this problem. It wasn't until I turned the sound off on my Macbook Pro and still heard the sound announcing an arrival of an email that I twigged. I realised that I had Mail open on my Mini to which I have speakers connected. Normally I don't have Mail running on my Mini; hence my confusion.
D'oh!
