Completely silence my Excalibur? (turn off call initiation beep)

---

Hi,
I'm trying to change my "Silent" profile to be completely silent. Turning off all ringers / changing to vibrate works except for the call initiation sound (the beep you hear when dialing a contact). How can I turn this off? Thanks in advance!

Specs: Flashed Dash to Excalibur / WM5

The 'beep' file is windows/callstart.wav if you would like to get rid of it. But I've never really cared to do anything about it.

*edit* won't let me delete it. probably need to replace it with a wilent second or so

*edit again* yep, you can replace it. if you did the silent startup/shutdown edit than just copy T-Mobile start up and rename it to Callstart

you can also use a registry editor to change this. look throught the other threads concerning that topic for more information.

where is this file located and how do i edit it to rid my self of the annoying. i rather not toy with the registry.

then use a program like total commander to replace it with a silent 'track' like the one used in silent startup/shutdown

Make this change to your registry:

Shut Off the Beep that Occurs When You Initiate a Call

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InC all2

Change String/Value InitVol to 0

possible error

This is incorrect, at least on my phone (WM6).
Here's what I had to do to mine:
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart

Change String/Value InitVol to 0

i noticed, that my windows applications are silent with the silent profile. but some applications do sounds anyway.
can i avoid that?

need default sound for in call2

Can someone telll me how to get the default sound back for incall2? I deleted it when I was trying to get rid of the sound made when a call is initiated using the incorrect instructions previously posted. The one below works for me but I still need the other sound back. I believe it is related to the busy signal.

Thanks for that, I hate that beep and the setting for WM5 didn't work.
