The Bios speaker annoys the hell out of me.

[Danyboy1738]

Hopefully my final cry for help. How on earth do I shut up the speaker that creates the beeps for Bios, cos I can't disable chassis intrusion so I get a beep because of that, everything I restart or power on the machine.

Display Cable: DVI to HDMI 1.9m

Display: 1080p, 60Hz, TV

Disconnect it?

Can't, attached to mobo itself

Then other than unsoldering it, probably no... that said some BIOSes have a setting to enable/disable speaker, pretty rare but you can check. 

Why can't you disable the chassis intrusion thing?

Dunno no matter what setting I have it on, or if the pins are shorted it doesn't change anything, and still says it, but from everything I've looked at, they all get system halted whereas I just get shouted at by the thing and then it proceeds to desktop

You can just insert a flat head screwdriver under it and twist the screwdriver to break the beeper off the board. Or use the screwdriver as a crowbar.

The board will run just fine with the beeper removed. 

 

Alternatively, reduce the sound levels by pouring some wax or epoxy or something in it, through that middle opening.

If it's through-hole to the other side of the MB, just de-solder and remove it. Less chance of damaging a trace on the MB than if you use a screw driver to break it off.

Leave your PC on or put it in sleep mode.  I leave my workstation and TV PC on 24 seven and only infrequently restart, usually when updates are available.  They consume minimal amounts of electricity.  That being said neither the Gigabyte or ASUS MoBos have speakers on them.  I have a couple of small beep speakers that I keep on hand in case I ever need to plug one in for trouble shooting. All the MoBos I have recently purchased rely on LEDs to provide the codes for trouble shooting.

Completely forgot about sleep mode I'll use that for now but I still hope for a permanent solution

Hi, 

 

Please read the following steps bellow to solve the issue: 

 

1. Enter System Setup (BIOS).
2. If you have an Inspiron™ portable computer, press the <Down Arrow> key to highlight the Quiet Boot option.
   
   NOTE: The Quiet Boot function may not exist in your system BIOS. If this option is not present, it may not be possible to disable the POST beep tone.
3. Change the status to Enabled.
4. Press the <F10> key to save and exit.
   The computer will reboot.
5. Click the Start button, click Shut Down, click Shut Down, and OK.
6. Power the system back on and the POST beep tone should not emit.
   
   NOTE: If you have PC Cards installed, you may hear a double set of beep tones during boot as Windows detects each card. This is not a function of the BIOS, but can be disabled. Proceed to section PC Card Beep Tones.

 

Hope that helps. 

 

Thanks

Best solution, for now
