When I tried this, method 1 didn’t work until after I rebooted the virtual machine. Method 1 is the better solution though since it doesn’t have to be entered every time the VM is booted, and the registry hack in Microsoft’s knowledge base article on disabling VM beeps doesn’t have to be undone if you want to put the service back.
