I cannot seem to control the audio coming from applications when I am logged into a citrix metaframe presentation server. I can control the sounds for applications that I use outside of the server. This is happening on my new Dell Latitude laptop but not my desktop. I am accessing the server through IE 7.
I’ve tried everything that I can think of (which isn’t much!) - I turned off the speakers, muted everything I can find. I didn’t disable the sound card because I would like to have sounds when I want them but if that is the only option, I guess I will have to.
I checked with my help desk and they told that this was not related to the citrix connection but probably some setting on my laptop. Any suggestions as to how I can turn off these sounds?
OK, then slide each of the volumes down to the bottom. I can’t see how any sound can pass through a muted sound card, but it has to be impossible if all the volumes are at 0.
I tried that, too. I even set the audio device to “no speakers” and my computer just keeps beeping at me. All the changes I am making are only affecting the applications I am running from my laptop, but not the Windows applications that I am running through the web site.
Hmm. That’s odd. Well, sorry I couldn’t help you. I can’t imagine where the sound is coming from. Someone else will surely have a go at a solution for you.
Try this, go into your sound properties and see if you have the correct soundcard seleteced. It might change from the default one to a Ctrix one once you connect. For example i am typing this through RDP right now and my sound card is no longer a Creatvie Notebook but a RDP protocol sound card.
Beeping? Sounds like it is not coming through your sound card, it is coming from your system speaker. Correcting this requires a change to your registry, so back it up, or bad things could happen to your computer. For instructions on how to fix this, read this Microsoft article:
Fear Itself, you’re approach did not exactly work for me but it did get me going in the right direction. You mentioned the system speaker. I googled the term and found a way to disable the system speaker without having to modify the registry.
I went into device manager, selected “show hidden devices”, went under the “Non plug and play devices” and there is something called “Beep”. If you right click on it, you can select “disable”.
