Gaahhh -- why in the world would you want the hardware beep? (Which you
can't control *at all*!)
You can change the volume the same way you change the volume for everything
else -- right click on the speaker icon in the system tray and adjust it as
you please.

You didn't say what version of Windows 7 you're using. If it's x64, then
no, there is absolutely no way you can use the hardware beep, ever. X64
Windows does not support the hardware speaker.
If you're talking about the TCC internal BEEP command, the x64 version of
TCC uses Direct Sound to make beeps. You cannot change the volume -- I had
tweaked the DS code so the volume comes out (on my systems) at the same
level as the other system sounds. You may need to go to the control panel
and (depending on your hardware/speakers) adjust the levels there.
Anybody else out there hearing overly-loud BEEPs with Windows x64?

I'm talking about the 32-bit version of Windows7SP1.

I don't think current desktops do. Speaking personally, I prefer
machines that don't speak unless spoken to, and turn that sort of
noise *off* if at all possible. A visual signal is just fine, thank
you.,
