file and folder selection ding noise

dazormiq · Post by **dazormiq** » 2007 Apr 09, 16:37

I really hope I am just missing an option somewhere, but everytime I click on anything (be it a file or folder) I get this stupid ding noise. I already turned off beep on warning s and errors, but it did not effect it. Is there another spot I can turn off sounds?

This is running on Vista Enterprise edition.

this is for xplorer2, right? A very small minority of people have reported this and I'm looking into it. Can you please download & install the free lite version and let me know if that beeps too?
thanks

Yes this is for xplorer2. I downloaded and installed lite and it does not make the noise.

It's always nice to find that I am one of the thousands that find an issue

Thanks for a very cool product.

you are the third person to report this, although arguably more people may have experienced the racketeering noise

sadly i cannot reproduce it so it's hard to troubleshoot. Would you do me a favor and try this debug version too?

thanks

also please close the quickviewer and tree and everything else (toolbars statusbar...) and go into single pane and list view mode without tooltips to see if we can make it shut up!

ps try this recommended solution (& make sure it doesn't disable the sounds on your PC altogether!)

FYI, I've had this same problem and fixed it only by disabling beep.sys AND turning off all Windows sounds. Also had this problem with Xnews newsreader in Vista. Turning off the tree and preview in xplorer2 did not fix the problem. Thanks.

but if you disable all the sounds it's not a feasible solution!
