There are several options for disabling or adjusting your sound, depending on what you want to accomplish. You may want to disable sounds from a program, the internal speaker, a modem, sound from the speakers/headphones, or disable an onboard sound card. For more information on these options, review the options below if they apply to what you're trying to disable.

How to disable sound from speakers or headphones

At top speed there's some vibration felt on the motor, but I think it's normal and not the problem. I do have 2 rubber traction tires missing on the same side so maybe that could be causing at least some of the noise. I'm going to put the boiler back on tomorrow and see if the sound. Sorry I’m a noob but is there an option to turn the sound off? Log in or sign up to leave a comment Log In Sign Up. No comments yet. Be the first to share what you think!

To disable the sound from the speakers or headphones, you can mute them (turn the volume off) or turn down (adjust) the volume.

How to mute

Mute in Windows

In Windows, click the sound icon in the Windows Notification Area of the Taskbar that looks like a speaker. In the small window that appears, check the Mute box or click the sound icon (shown to the right) below the volume to mute the sound. To un-mute it later, you can follow the same procedure.

Mute in the software program

If you only want to mute a movie, sound file, or audio in programs, most programs include a configuration option to mute the audio through the program or audio player. Look for a sound icon and click the icon to either open the sound properties or mute the sound.

Mute on speakers

You can also look for a mute or power off button on your computer or the speakers as another alternative.

Mute on headphones

Some headphones and headsets have a button on the cord that connects in-between the headphones and the computer. Pressing this button may mute the sound.

Mute on laptop

Some laptops have buttons that control the audio. If the laptop has buttons similar to those shown below, press the crossed-out speaker button to mute the laptop speakers. If your laptop does not have these buttons, look for an Fn key combo to mute the speakers. The Fn key combination is specific to your laptop brand or model, so examine the keyboard or check your laptop documentation.

How to turn down and adjust the volume

Sound

Turn down the volume in Windows

In Windows, click the sound icon in the Windows Notification Area of the Taskbar that looks like a speaker. In the small window that appears, drag the volume down to turn down the sound. To turn it back up later, you can follow the same procedure and drag the slider up to the desired volume level.

Turn down the volume in the software program

If you only want to adjust a movie, sound file, or other audio program's volume, most programs include a configuration option to adjust the volume through the program or player you are using. Look for a sound icon or volume slider to adjust the audio settings. If you're in a game, you may have to go into the Audio settings of the game to adjust the volume.

Adjust the volume on speakers

All computer speakers have a volume knob that can be adjusted on the front of the speaker. Moving that knob to the left turns down the main speaker volume.

Adjust the volume on headphones

How

Some headphones and headsets have a volume control on the cord that connects in-between the headphones and the computer. Moving this knob in one of the available directions turns down the sound.

Adjust the volume on the laptop

Some laptops have buttons that control the audio. A laptop with buttons similar to those below can press the button with the least amount of sound waves (usually the left) to turn down the volume. If your laptop does not have these buttons, look for any Fn key combo to adjust the volume of the speakers. The Fn key combination is specific to your laptop brand or model, so examine the keyboard or check your laptop documentation.

How to disable an onboard sound card

If you want to install a new sound card and need to disable the onboard sound card in your computer, follow the steps below.

Disable through Microsoft Windows

  1. Click the + or > symbol next to the Sound, video and game controllers option in the list.
  2. Right-click the onboard sound card.
  3. In the pop-up menu that opens, select the Disable device option.

After disabling the onboard sound card, you can shut down the computer and install a new sound card.

Disable through BIOS

Note

Before performing the BIOS steps below, we recommend you install a new sound card to use in place of the onboard sound card.

  1. Open the BIOS setup.
  1. In the BIOS, look for an option like Integrated Peripherals, Integrated Devices, or something similar. Depending on the type of BIOS, you may need to look in a section named Advanced or Configuration. Access that option to view the next screen of options.
  2. Look for an entry like Audio Device, Onboard Sound, or something similar. To the right of that entry, change Enable or Enabled to Disable or Disabled.
  3. Look at the bottom of the BIOS screen to see which key or key combination to press to save the BIOS settings change. F10 or F12 are common keys to save BIOS settings changes. Press the appropriate key to save the changes.
  4. After saving the changes, exit the BIOS. The key to exit the BIOS is shown at the bottom of the BIOS screen.

After exiting the BIOS, the computer will restart. Because the onboard sound card is disabled, you need to connect the speaker's mini plug connector to the new sound card.
