From: EriK on 12 Apr 2010 12:11 Is it possible to disable that error beep from Matlab R2010a? It's quite annoying cause it's coming from the mac itself and not through the speakers... Help much appreciated.

It's quite annoying cause it's coming from the mac itself and not through the speakers... Help much appreciated. The sound is comming from the Mac itself without taking the way through the speakers?! That's purely magic. How do you think that the Mac creates the sound? Although you could disable the error beep of the operating system, another simple solution would be to avoid errors. ;-) Jan

Erik, use beep off to disable the error beep. -- Doug Schwarz dmschwarz&ieee,org Make obvious changes to get real email address.

I've never seen a computer, which uses the internal speaker, if external speakers are connected. It is not getting clear to me, why beeps from the internal speaker are more annoying. However, your suggestion of "beep off" hits the point. Jan

I have mine set up so that routine computer beeps (mail notifications, errors, etc.) are directed to the internal speakers and sounds for which I desire higher fidelity (music, etc.) are directed to the line out jack which is connected to my stereo. That way if I'm listening to music (especially if the volume is high) I don't get interrupted by a loud ping if I happen to get mail. -- Doug Schwarz dmschwarz&ieee,org Make obvious changes to get real email address. |
