I was involved in this question about three months ago and recieved
a definitive "no" answer, although there are TSR's that attempt to
shut off the speaker entirely.  (In my experience, I found that 
certain apps seemed to turn it back on.  In some other apps it was
muted, but still slightly audible.)  Please correct me if I am
wrong - I ended up opening the box and physically cutting the
wires!
