Stop the loud system beep on remote desktop sessions

Sick of the ridiculously loud system beep coming from your Remote Desktop sessions, even if you have Remote Audio Playback turned off?  If so, do the following on your local machine that you are connecting from:

  • Open Device Manager
  • View > Show Hidden Devices
  • Expand the Non-Plug and Play Drivers node
  • Right-click Beep and choose Disable

You’ll have to reboot or log-off and back in for the change to take effect.

That’s all there is to it!
