UAC popup sound
I muted system sounds in the volume bar. But the UAC popup still makes a sound. I'm running a regular account, the UAC popup asks for the password

I muted Mixer->System sounds. I want volume for other apps.
Found this thread while looking for a similar issue. I have a sort-of home theater setup, so when I'm connected to big speakers, I put system sounds down to like 2 or 3 ... but very often the UAC popup happens at full blast. Not fun to have cat claws in my lap and such. The only thing I've found to do is make a copy of the sound file, then reduce the volume / amplitude, then set UAC sound to that copy. I don't mind the sound, I want the sound, just not at max volume. This is the only way I've found to do it.
Hmmm interesting. On Win7 it was happening with the built-in sounds. I've never bothered using my own sounds, so I don't know about custom. Well, except to make a reduced-volume version of "cityscape" and a couple others. It's been much more pleasant having windows as part of my living room with this sorted out.
Just disable User Account Control, it`s useless anyway, I always disable it and have never had an issue, that pop up is annoying in my opinion :)
