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
