Vista is better than XP - Page 3

Hehe thanks Matt! Well, to answer your question, audio does work perfectly clear in Windows XP. I don't know if the beeping is supposed to happen on purpose though. For example; it beeps while in the terminal and you press backspace on an empty line. Is it supposed to do that? If it is, I'm really sorry I made you take away 6 hours of your time

Sorry The sound is supposed to happen by default. You can turn it off by putting this in the terminal:

Code:

rmmod pcspkr

The beeping noise isn't coming from the speaker, but from the depths of the computer

Well, I'm really sorry that I made you take 6 hours... also, for anyone that tries this, if you like the annoying beep, you can turn it back on by typing this in the terminal:

Code:

modprobe pcspkr

again, thanks Matt.

So that means the sound works perfectly good? I thought so...because after posting some issues I had this weekend with Ubuntu on the Ubuntuforum the XP sound drivers work also in any Linux distros! So yeah....At least both of us got our problems fixed!

Eh, ok

now at least I don't so bad anymore, but still sorry for taking your time. I just found this trick from searching on google 'how to hack ubuntu'... and I found a lifehacker.com page. I sometimes like lifehacker, so I went to it and found the way to turn off the beeping noise. Well, thanks again for at least trying
