beeping at me!

wupwup · 7 Apr 2009 at 14:50

i just reformated my pc and sofar its working great. except it beeps at me all the time. its not a software noise its from the internal speaker that used to play when something went wrong. now it beeps everytime a notification of any type comes up and its beeping annoying. any ideas how to turn it off? thanks

Hi, Wupwup,

Reason for that is because you have not installed any sound drivers. Do this and restart the machine, should sort it out.

Yer I hate that, guess your using xp from the other 'best browser' thread?

start - control panel - sounds and audio device - box comes up go to 'sounds' at top - change the default beep to a different sound, i'm pretty sure its that one thats doing it.

Mine would do it even with driver installed. If I had the volume icon in the system tray and used that to adjust the volume, on mine the noise would come from the headphones/speakers but it was about 5x louder than what i would be listening too. arrrr. I've turned off all windows sounds now so all good.

thanks guys. im looking through the sounds in the control pannel now so that wll get sorted out but on a side note where should i get sound drivers from? should i use specific drivers or anything? thanks a lot

Well if windows update doesn't provide the audio driver, you'll have to search the manufactures site for it.

What pc is it? make and model number

wupwup · 7 Apr 2009 at 15:31

tbh so much of this pc has been swapped about that probably wond help. ill look at the audio card later for it. im bound to have to open it up soon for something. thanks

Okay, lets start with what we need:

Name and model number for:

Mouse, Keyboard,
PC ( If its Dell, HP etc..)

wupwup · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:03

right. keyboard is a windows keyboard model kb-1807. mouse is a cm-5088p. the computer s a digwave somethng or other

Priapus · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:15

Right, so keyboard should just work...as for the mouse. The pc; "digiwave something or other" doesn't help much. So do this:

Good 'mvpcinfo' and download it, then run it. Tell me what it says your motherboard is and we'll go from there.

wupwup · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:22

got it. its a GBT___AWRDACPI.
motherboad is a Intel i865GV-6A79WG03C-00 (Socket 478)

Priapus · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:33

Okay, so use Google and search for, Intel i865GV drivers. Download and install them, restart PC once done.

wupwup · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:41

cant find any drivers. everywhere is giving me crappy software or asking for usernames.
