When I mute my speaker, I get a big green MUTE on the screen. I can drag the
control down to nothing, which effectively turns the sound off, but that's
not the same thing, and I find it very difficult to adjust the sound level
using that control anyway.

don't want all that noise - especially on some websites. If there's
something I want to hear, it's just two clicks away. :-)

Sorry, the dinging sound is in other office applications like Excel.
It
seems to happen after I have been typing and pause for a second. It
is
on my
new DELL Inspiron 9300 portable. Please tell me what other info you
need.
Many Thanks!!!

Is the sound coming out of your PC or is it coming through
your speakers?

Without more information, it's hard to make an educated guess.
The dinging sound may even be an internal alarm to warn you
that your CPU unit is overheating. Let's hope not.

I keep getting a dinging sound (for no reason). I even deleted
Office
Sounds
and I keep getting it. It is driving me nuts. How can I get rid
of
it?

Hi Mike,

It's possible that there is a dialog box of some type open
behind the document you're working on. Sometimes you'll
see an item on the task bar or you may be able to see it in
Alt+Tab, but not always. In those cases the 'ding' can come
from the dialog box wanting you to make a 'valid' selection
and typing isn't what it's seeking.

Mike,

See if this applies. Found it while researching online help for
"dinging sounds in office"
Do one or both of the following:

Turn on or off sound

1.. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
2.. Select or clear the Provide feedback with sound check box.
Note Changing this setting will affect all of your Microsoft Office programs.

don't want all that noise - especially on some websites. If
there's
something I want to hear, it's just two clicks away. :-)

Do what I do, turn your speakers off.

Sorry, the dinging sound is in other office applications
like Excel.
It
seems to happen after I have been typing and pause for a
second. It
is
on my
new DELL Inspiron 9300 portable. Please tell me what other
info you
need.
Many Thanks!!!

What you didn't say is if you hear the same dinging sounds
in
other applications, or when your PC is inactive? Do you
only
hear the sounds in Word, or do you hear them in Excel, too?
Is the sound coming out of your PC or is it coming through
your speakers?

Without more information, it's hard to make an educated
guess.
The dinging sound may even be an internal alarm to warn you
that your CPU unit is overheating. Let's hope not.

I keep getting a dinging sound (for no reason). I even
deleted
Office
Sounds
and I keep getting it. It is driving me nuts. How can I
get rid
of
it?
