Apparently Microsoft has removed the “beep” service from Windows Server 2008 such that this approach no longer works. I did find the following, however:

This is obviously a system-wide change and not specific to VMware.

Hi Chris,

what’s the OS you’re using? Vista, Windows 2008 or XP?

That didn’t work on my VM, I still get the beep. The command above states “success” but the beep won’t stop.

I’ve gone so far as removeing the beep from device manager (which worked on Win 2003) but haven’t had any success.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
