Description

This pull request addresses issue #116 by adding comprehensive documentation about disabling beeps at the firmware level (UEFI/BIOS). Even with all the system-level beep disabling provided by this project, some computers might still emit beeps from the firmware during POST, and these cannot be controlled by the operating system.

Changes Made

Added a new section to the README.md titled "Complete Silence: Disabling Firmware Beeps" that includes:

  • Explanation of firmware beeps vs. operating system beeps
  • Instructions on accessing UEFI/BIOS settings
  • A table of common beep setting locations by manufacturer
  • Navigation differences between UEFI and Legacy BIOS
  • Terminology guide for beep-related settings
  • Manufacturer-specific notes for Dell, HP, Lenovo, and ASUS systems
  • Post-configuration steps and alternatives

Benefits

  • Provides users with information to achieve truly silent computing by addressing all beep sources
  • Helps users understand which beeps can be controlled by the OS vs. firmware
  • Offers manufacturer-specific guidance for finding the right settings
  • Suggests alternatives when BIOS beep disabling isn't available

Documentation Standards

  • Clear, structured organization with headings and subheadings
  • Tabular format for easy reference of manufacturer-specific information
  • Consistent formatting and terminology
  • Accessible language for users with varying technical expertise

Fixes #116
