Simplier solution. Costs nothing
Go to SOUND in the Windows configuration. Create a file with all sounds
turned off. Save it. Use it when operating PSK.
You might like the silence so much, you'll use this file all the time.
Personally, I really dislike any sound intrusions from Windows ever.

To discover this downside just monitor 14,070 for a
period of time while the band is open. You will hear many of
the Windows sound chimes or warnings. It is too easy to
forget your rig is on, in the VOX mode while you are working
with other programs in Windows.
This is one place that installing a second sound card in your
computer - or using an interface like the microHAM DigiKeyer
or microKEYER II with USB sound capability - is important.
With a second sound card Windows Sounds continue to go to the
"default" sound card and speakers while the digital software
is configured to use the second sound card and the radio.
With many computers it is possible to listen to streaming audio
and operate digital modes at the same time if that's your thing.
The dual soundcard systems also provide support for some of the
new digital audio (digital voice modes) where one card is used
for mic/speaker and the other card for "audio" to/from the
radio.
