Thre are no "jumpers" for case speakers! Just follow along the speaker cable to the mobo and pop it off!

But if there is an internal speaker on the mobo then I fear unless there is a documented way of removing it in the manual or an option in bios to disable it there is no other way but to remove the speaker driver in Device Manager (I'm assuming you are using Windows).

is there no option in bios to turn it off?
I had a similar mobo with a option to turn it off in BIOS

@entrana, you mean you dont want the default windows sounds to play from your motherboard...
If that's what you mean, there's a way to do so via the registry.
I dont remember it, But i remember Vishal having posted somewhere about this...
PM him in that cae, or search the forum...

Buy the XFX 630i only when you plan to stay onboard as there is one flaw :( which is, there is no Dual Channel Support with this board :( how ever that doesn't cut out the performance part :lol:

You can easily identify the speaker on the case and trace it to mobo. Just pop it off.

^^its difficult if the speaker is soldered to the mobo, you have to use soldering machine and loose the paste then remove it, but that will void your Warranty


PS: Ur mobo dont have onboard speaker, the speaker is in case.

i have seen the XFX 650i mobo pic and couldnt found anything resembling onboard speaker, and there wasnt any mention in the legend too

PS: I have DG965RY which has got onboard speaker, so i know how it looks

fromthe pic it looks like there is no onboard speaker. just open up the case and you will find a small speaker attached to it. trace the wire from it to mobo and just unplug it.

called my mechie. he applied some thermal paste brought down temp by 10C, also according to him, my antibiotic cabinet has a front lcd display as you know which creates the beep sound. the offboard speaker according to him was that lcd panel speaker. it had a sound option which was on. i turned it off now lets see

its working fine so far
