Hi, the problem I'm having is kind of weird. I'm not sure if anyone heard of this before but im using external speakers (Yamaha 5.1 surround) attached to my monitor (HDMI audio). My sound settings is at ATI HDMI audio output.
For some reason, everytime I open Vista applications like Welcome Center or anything like that, it has a beat sound instead of the default Vista ping sound. This happens on AIM too and my IMs are silent. But if I turn on any program with music (iTunes, DivX Player, Windows Media Player, any game), the problem disappears. I would be able to hear my IMs sounds, Vista beep sounds, etc.
Anyone know what is causing this?
