Disable System Beep in VMWARE

By Jonesy • Aug 11th, 2006 • Category: Linux

If you, like me, can’t stand that obnoxious system beep in VMWare and have discovered that you can’t cut speaker wires inside a VM, you will probably appreciate this tip. Add the following line to your preferences file (~/.vmware/preferences on linux, preferences.ini on windows):

mks.noBeep = TRUE

Now your internal speaker will no longer drive you crazy each time there is more than one tab completion option, and your ear-drums won’t bleed each time the FreeBSD bootloader starts.
