Daemon Tools? What are you smoking? Daemon Tools don't have anything to do with either the problem or its' solution. |

Anyways, yes, you are right by setting nosound to true that should disable the access to the direct speakers. EDIT: If she doesn't use DOSbox the she can use Daemon tools or something like that, simpler. |

the only way that I found that you could not turn off the pc speaker was when running through windows so that is why I presume that she probably was using windows. hey I may be wrong |

The Fifth Horseman | She didn't say anything about using DOSBox - therefore I am inclined to believe she does not use it to run the game. | |

Right Sorted 1. if using dosbox as above mixer etc.. but for some reason I cannot navigate the menus as the arrow keys only work to move the character not the menu ( or use data's nosound ) 2. if using windows goto device manager , select view , show hidden devices , then select Non plug and play devices , right click on beep and select disable. it will prompt to reboot so allow to reboot and speaker will be dead or option 3 if you want to keep the pc speaker beep - goto device manager , select view , show hidden devices , then select Non plug and play devices , right click on beep , select properties and click on stop . run the game and then when finished just click on the start option ( this was checked on my system and works |

if he is using dosbox then it is indeed not needed. Simply set nosound to true. |

hmm, not sure I agree :bleh: as dosbox I 'believe' will still use the windows xp drivers and not use direct calls to the speaker you can also try the mixer command in dosbox just enter ' mixer spkr 0 ' and that will set the speaker vol to 0 bit intense opening the case as sould be able to disable some other way. I will try to d/l that game and confirm |

I'm with Data on this - you just have to power down your machine, open the side of the case and detach the speaker connector from the motherboard. It's not difficult. |

right click ' my computer ' select properties hardware, device manager , system devices and then right click on system speaker and select disable this should kill it |
