Vista - Vista 32 popping sound

Hi all, I stumbled across your forum while trying to sort my damn comp before it goes out the window.

I work from home and usually listen to radio 1 via the internet.

Ever since I have installed Vista Ultimate 32bit I get a annoying popping sound while surfing the internet.

Pop up blocker is switched off!

I have attached a .wav file for you to have a gander at.

Any help much appreciated as its really doing my head in!

Thanks

Smokey

I recognize this sound, but I can't place where I've heard it before. I just spent some time listening to all the default Windows sounds, and there's no clue there.

My guess is that it is related to a non-Microsoft pop-up blocker. Which browser are you using? Do you have any third-party toolbars installed?

Thanks to windows Vista, every program now has its own volume control, even Web browsers and messengers! Simply click on the volume icon on the task bar and click on mixer. Then, in the new window, you can see which running programs have outputted sound from the moment they started. when the popping sound plays, it must come from one of these apps. Just drag down the volume for that app n u're done!

As for guessing what's making the sound, I think its Firefox blocking pop-ups, i guess

I have the same problem. Running IE. Media Player and anything I listen to over the internet pops when i open new pages or refresh old ones. I turned down the volume in Inernet Explorer but it didn't work.

Any other ideas would be apreciated

I am also having this same problem, and don't know what to do about it, my volume is on mute and I still can hear it though, does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to lose my mind.

Thank you

I updated my drivers and that worked for about 2 weeks, but know it's doing it again. No idea.

I get a pop sound when my mom uses her hair dryer all I did to fix it was move my computer to a different outlet.

That's really not my problem. It's only when I am opening a web page

Check the in the sounds in the control panel then find start navagation and put the sound to none.

Thats a different sound. When IE is opening the page I get several pops from my speaker. Thanks for your advice.
