AFAIK, no. What hardware are you running on? If you are running FreeDOS in a VM, you can probably silence the speaker from the host OS. If you are booting FreeDOS as the OS on the machine, it's a problem. Some BIOSes back in the day would let you set speaker volume. Failing that, your option was usually to disconnect the speaker. A possible option is use of a TSR which will attempt to mute the speaker. Most of these work by continuously polling for speaker events, so you will get some level of performance hit from running them. Go to https://www.sac.sk/files.php?d=16&l= and search for speaker in the listing for downloads on some. Another possibility is https://www.pcorner.com/list/UTILITY/SIL2.ZIP/INFO/ I have not tested these and cannot say how well they work. ______ Dennis . > Johnpaul T.
