Counter-windows bleep

JoeBoi · 7 May 2006 at 15:43

When I'm playing CS : Source I sometimes get the windows bleep going off any idea why guys?

I get that noise sometimes , like a *BUMP* Noise..

I was on teamspeak once and the person i was talking to, had it on their pc at exactly the same time..

Very Odd :confused:

Yeah, its pretty weird bothers me so much that I might reinstall windows

I had it on my old PC. It was the speaker from the motherboard, not Windows itself. Disabled it and all was fine.

Isnt that caused by some accessibility option in Windows, called hotkeys or sticky keys or something?

Basically its an option to help disabled people use the pc. I am sure it can be turned off somewhere.

(Got a feeling its called Stickykeys from memory)

If its sticky keys than you can bring the settings menu up by tapping shift 5 times, then you can turn it off.

But it's coming from my speakers nothing on the motherboard :S

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think its sticky keys it seems to happen when I'm typing and sometimes clicking :S

Got Xfire running? as that beeps when people log on and off if you're in a game.

JoeBoi · 7 May 2006 at 18:51

Yeah I have xfire running I would have thought it would tell you though

Well a popup message in the corner of the screen or a different noise than what you would expect could put you off while playing, I know it used to with me when it made that tear noise whenever someone messaged me lol, that always scared me to death.

You got IRC running while it happens? If you have scrolled up in any chat window it beeps when someone types something.

JoeBoi · 8 May 2006 at 04:14

No, I don't have IRC it could be xfire although I just thought it made the sound of tearing only

As above, it beeps when people sign in/out. The tearing noise is only when someone sends you a message (I think). Are you sure it's not a bomb-arming-like beep?

JoeBoi · 8 May 2006 at 15:58

hehe no mate its that windows beep

Ladforce · 9 May 2006 at 03:32

does it happen when you press too many keys on the keyboard at once? if you press a lot of keys and the arrow ones it sometimes causes a beep on the pc speaker.

JoeBoi · 9 May 2006 at 05:26

I think a lot of you might be right and its just xfire does just sound like a windows beep though thanks for the help guys

Roduga · 9 May 2006 at 16:53

*beep*
