Beep on Connection

Whenever my intel/proset wireless card connects I get a beep from my computer. This isn't coming from my speakers because it happens when I have the sound turned off. Why would this be happeneing? I haven't done any major changes since it started happeneing.

Is this card one that is connected in the pcmcia slot that you just push into the slot? If so some of those card beep loudly when they are powered up with windows. The sound is coming from the internal speaker and not the regular speakers I think.

It's my internal card. Not the one that is just pushed into the slot.

Ok, not sure why you know that and have not heard it from an internal card before. Shut down the computer and pull the external card in the slot out and then boot and see if it's there.

You can turn off the notification messages in the Application Settings part of PROSet/Wireless.  That should get rid of the "beeps".

I worked around this by using Sound Recorder to record a fraction of a second of silence (called SoundsOfSilence.wav) and set the Windows Default Beep (Control Panel Sounds) to that silent audio.  I normally disable all sounds, so the Intel Wireless beep was especially annoying, bypassing my settings.  I found that if the Default Beep is set to None, the annoying beep occurs.  Ditto if the PC Speaker is muted.  If not, then the Default Beep is invoked.  Disabling the motherboard speaker (System->Hardware->Device Manager->System Devices did not disable the annoying beep.
