I have a new laptop from a small company that specializes in computers 
for audio recording and production.

whenever I get a new email, the PC SPEAKER beeps--not my internal sound 
card or PCMCIA audio card, but the actual PC speaker reminiscent of the 
DOS days.

I'll probably end up calling the company I ordered the laptop from, but 
I thought in the meantime someone here might have a quick fix...

Thanks
chris.

Check for a BIOS setting to enable/disable the speaker.  In BIOS setup, 
"speaker" refers to only the board speaker.
