    revit 2011: how to turn off sound

    Have been using RAC2011 for about 11 month now, and have never noticed any sounds comming out of it
    Never the less, people are searching Google for this phrase: "revit 2011: how to turn off sound" - What the **** ? :banghead: :laugh:

    I wear USB headphones with hard rock & roll playing all day and have never heard a sound from Revit either
    I'm retired, if you don't like it, go around!

        Some angry IT guy has programmed in some sounds into his company's Revit deployment?

        That gives me a good idea though... anytime someone tries to open the central file without detaching, it will automatically turn the volume to max, disable the headphone jack, and play a Britney Spears tune. Bet that wouldn't happen more than once.

          LOL - Maybe Aaron could use that for import cad and purge commands too

            There are some sounds, when there are errors. For example, recently, I was in a class teaching how to place isolated footings. When I was explaining how to set up View Range for a foundation plan, I was hearing some "beep-beep" as some students were already trying to place isolated footings before I finish my explanation; therefore they were getting that error message about "None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan..."

                Step #1: Install Windows
                Step #2: Turn off sounds. All sounds.

                Cause Microsoft's noises are retarded. And everyone else's noises are just as bad.

                Step #3: Change the bloody background! Windows 7 is better than Tellitubby Land from XP, but lord that default background is ugly.

                  I know a few IT guys who still build machines without sound cards. The occassional noises from Revit are really annoying when its the Atari-esque noise a box makes when it has no Sound Control device installed.

                    That system beep (i.e. that Atari-esque noise) that sometimes is heard even when all the "sounds" are muted can be disabled in Windows.

                    The easiest way that I know of is to go into the System's Device properties, turn on "Show Hidden Devices", and turn off the "Beep" device under non-plug & play drivers. (YMMV depending on version of Windows)
