Audo Probs

[The Minder]

Greetings,

Newbie. I have a Asrock P4VM890 mobo running Ubuntu Gutsy and let me be the 8 millionth person to say that M$ had better watch out... Ubuntu is coming and coming fast! I have one problem.

The system recognizes the on-board audio chip, I can play CD, videos and any other multimedia... hell, the damn thing even takes the dog for a walk! But, the audio is beset by a constant "bong, bong..." playing in the background. It cycles about 2 'bongs' per second, adjusts with the master volume being adjusted, and just won't go away. Any suggestions to remove this annoyance would be welcome.

Regards.

Hi
The only thing I can suggest is having a look in System->Preferences->Sound
to see if you have something selected that might be causing this.
Also it is not a warning of some kind coming from your BIOS is it.?

Thanks for the reply Sanddgroper,

I had tried to resolve the problem by selecting the sound icon's properties from the top panel but that didn't fix anything. Tried your suggestion about system/preferences/sound and as soon as I opened the dialog box the 'bonging' stopped! Go figure!

Thanks muchly. Btw, are you from west Oz?
