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.

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. ;-)

He means that the sound is coming from the internal speakers and not the
external speakers that he has connected.

Erik, use

beep off

to disable the error beep.

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.

Lieber Jan,

On the Mac it is possible to have multiple audio channels and direct
them to different devices such as the internal speakers or the Line Out
jack. 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.
