So generally I turn off at the mains when I shut the pc down (too many annoying standby lights and everything is on the same strip). Occasionally I don't though and noticed odd behaviour I guess.
Basically, if you turn off and turn on without cycling the mains, it beeps the instant you power on, but posts completely normally. I've upload a clip here:

First beep is the instant the power button is pressed, 2nd beep is the normal post beep. Bit odd really.
I've tested, there is no difference in boot time at all (timed it), so it doesn't appear to be doing anything, except beeping at me. From power on to the everything is ok post beep, it's about 15s, which is pretty much what it has always been.
It doesn't do it on restarts. Only does it if you shut down and the power up without cycling mains.
I don't think it used to do it, but not 100% sure as I generally switch off at the mains. Only hardware I've changed since having the board is a new case (690ii to 750d), new psu (Seasonic x-750) and more recently, swapped my 290 to a 1070.
I'd be pretty confident in saying it never done in in the cm690ii. I did however get the 750d and upgrade to the F22 bios at around about the same time. F22 has had the odd reported issue (really slow boot mostly) from some people. It's been fine for me though.
I searched, but most posts about weird beeps are to do with the post beep or systems not booting. This is the second power button is pressed, way before any post and it posts fine anyway with the normal beep as you can hear.
System is solid, no failed boots or anything. Just this weird beep.
Board is a Gigabyte x99-sli
Any ideas? Bios bug (gigabyte bios have been a bit iffy. Original release had hdd bug, beta bios to fix that had unstable boot, f22e reserved excess memory, so track record aint great) X99 just being a weirdo, speaker test? Something to do with qflash+?
