Hi everybody...


The last week I have a conflict with a user.... Because he is all the time listening music and the other people doesn't like the music. Is it possible to disable the audio in the mac.


Thanks

Can you just suggest to him or her to wear headphones? (Not too loudly or hearing damage may occur)

Thanks for help me. But this is a serius problem. Because the boss of the area doesn’t want that the users uses anything... He wants to punish them, because they are lazes.

If your boss wants to punish them, he needs to write a reprimand. In other words: I don't know how to disable sound (other than putting a plug into the sound jack), but I also don't understand why your colleagues just don't listen to music when they are told not to.

Why not just go to sound under system preferences and select mute and then change system preferences to limit access.

Do you mean remove the Sound pane from System Preferences? I suppose that could work: Mute the sound and then remove the prefpane located at System/Library/PreferencePanes/Sound.prefPane. But would the keyboard sound keys still work?

No. He means muting the sound, and then setting the preferences so that regular users can't access the control panels. Admins could still change them.

You can also remove all the sound-related kexts (after backing them up) so they don't load.

Yeah, that's what I thought he meant, except for the fact that the Sound pane (like the other User panes) does not have a lock.
