Disable Phone Sounds - How?
 

Every time I make an outbound call, I get a beep.
Every time I end a call, I get a beep.

I have replaced every sound file on my PPC with a copied silent.wav file.
I have gone into phone settings and alarms and taken the sound alert setting off of each and every alert.

So, I guess this is some type of non.wav system sound?
Can it only be disabled through registry?
What is that registry setting?

I'd like to know this as well, the end call noise drives me batty!

That little chirp? Man I've never thought about it, but now that you've mentioned it, it's gonna annoy the crap out of me...

I don't understand why this isn't something in the U.I. (setting) that can be shut off with minimal effort.

I graduated to a PPC from a SmartPhone and on the SmartPhone it was a registry setting, but I can't find anything similar on the PPC. This is what led me to overwrite all of the *.wav files with a copy of silent.wav (renamed to nnnn.wav).

AARGH !!!

I opened up the PPCKitchen RAR file and extracted it into a directory. (you can build in PPCKitchen from a directory, but you have to edit your selections.txt)

I deleted each file of the following type from the 3.02 kitchen:
*.wav
*.wma
*.mid

I still get that crazy beep ...

The struggle continues!

I've taken care of the call end one in the rom I'm running. Actually I think you are looking for the "Scripts"... I just managed to kill my "dialing" beep. Look in this registry key for them and remove the "P". Don't forget to save, and reset!

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dialing
Script=""

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ending
Script=""

Well, well, well - that is great news and easily setup in zzzzzPersonalOEM.

Now I have to get those *.wav, *.wma & *.mid files back into the build ... any setting that uses a sound will not save, as the sound files are not there. I guess I could go through the registry and remove the entries, but it is quickest (for me) to put the sounds back.

I guess it worked then. Stay tuned, I'm gonna put up another tutorial for the kitchen soon about customizing all the sounds. I'll have to include this one too!

I believe the end button activates Midi2Wave_079_4098.wav in the windows directory. Did you replace that one as well?

Re: Disable Phone Sounds - How?
 

Yes I did delete that specific file (and every other *.wav, *.mid & *.wma) file from the PPCKitchen directory (Vogue_WM6.1_GPS_3.02).

The script change got rid of the sound for both dialing and ending a call.

woot!

P.S. This may sound unusual, but when you are in a (sometimes) very quiet office setting (no white noise generators), sometimes the sound of a cell phone can draw unwanted attention.
