Vista - Toggle keys beep alert

Your welcome Venkat_Kumar, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I finally got around to doing a bit more testing, and found it is actually a problem with the Dell machines. When in the port replicator it does not allow the system beep to be heard. I have tried this on about 10 Dell machines now and all do the same thing. In the replicator no sound, out of it the beep now works. I have asked Dell, they say it is Windows issue with audio drivers & Microsoft didn't even respond. So there you go, it is a problem with the port replicators and I have no fix until someone issues a driver update.

That was exciting wasn't it.

Dutchy,

Thank you for posting back your results and findings. As a rule of thumb it is usually always the device driver makers fault for not making the driver work with the OS.

I hope they have one for you soon.

VISTA USES THE SPEAKERS OF THE PC NOT THE SYSTEM BEEP SOUND LIKE IN XP
HOW IN THE H_LL CAN I GET THE SYSTEM BEEP TO FUNCTION. i HAVE A HEARING IMPAIRED CHILD TO TAKE CARE OF AND THE FREQUENCY THE SYSTEM BEEP RUNS ON IS THE ONLY SOUND HE IS EASILY ABLE TO HEAR


when i say system beep i am referring to the sound your comp makes internal (NOT FROM THE SPEAKERS)

Hello DSW,

There is no way to have this beed from the internal speaker connected to the motherboard.

The only thing that I can think if is to change the default sounds for each sound event to one that he may be able to hear instead. You might also look in the Ease of Access Center in the Control Panel for more options that may help make the computer easier for him to use as well.



Hope this helps,
Shawn
