In the Sound Control Panel (OS 9), there are four tabs. Select the first one, "Alerts". You should see two sliders, one for the volume of the system alerts, and at the bottom, the main volume control. Adjust the "Alerts" slider down to the level you desire. This shouldn't affect iTunes' or any other program's volume, only system beeps and alerts. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
