    Hello,

    I have a HP Pavilion Media Center dv6278ea with Windows XP SP3.
    I like to use the bip sound to warn me if I accidentally press the Caps lock key, but the bip is extremely loud, if I use hear phones, it makes me jump on the chair.
    Is there any way to decrease the volume of this sound?
    I don not want to disable it.
    I searched for all the *.wav sounds on the C: drive but did not find it there.
    No option for it on the audio control volume.
    Is it a .wav sound?

    Thanks

    Yoram David

    you control it from the master volume, the PC Beep part

    if the Beep don't appear, then go to Option - Properties and check the PC Beep :D

    Thanks...
    I wish it was that easy, perhaps it is and I am missing something here.
    I do not have this option here.
    What I get is this:

    It is in Portuguese, but I think it is self-explanatory.
    No option for bip.sound

    Thanks.

    Humm.. XP as I said in first post.
    There is no control volume for bip.sound in the accessibility option under keyboard, just use it or not.
    Have you read my threat?
