i usually close buddy list down, which is why i only get it infrequently, but mouse batteries are dead at the moment and aol is a bitch to browse with the keyboard.....

like for example, when you click a link you hear a "click" sound. you can edit it through the control panel.



doubt it's that, because it's normally idle when it happens.
i.e, i'll be watching tv with the comp sat just with a couple of web pages open, and it'll do it.

i'm off to check though, it's a good idea.




i'd be crying about it if it was mcfly or something.

I'd get worried if it started playing bits of Busted songs.

Your PC wants to be a jukebox. I say let it.

not frequently, but every so often it plays about a second or maybe less of music.
done it three times today.
it's usually a short bit from one of the sean paul tracks, but today it's done it twice with what sounds like a part of an all saints tune.

very bizarre.
is this a common problem or is my pc haunted?

doesn't do any harm, but it bugs me why it does it.
