And, as I change the volume with the button on the top of the keyboard, it beeps softer/louder as the volume changes; or it turns the sound off completely. When I use it to turn the volume off, there is no sound from anything. When I set it loud, every sound I hear is loud, including beeps. I have done nothing with the ACPI settings -- Mostly, because I just do not understand what they do. e.g., What is the "remote control package" that you mention? What do you do that creates a beep that is not controlled by the tool? I guess YMMV, but it does work here... Carl
