killuminati Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 It's a bug with XP/sb live I have it too, and it's irritating me... You only have it when playing music and messenging... Anyone know if it's fixed with SP1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravexperience Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 The problem does not concern Windows?XP or SBLive! . I cannot claim this is a solution but at least it does prove that the four media files that come integrated within Windows?Messenger 4.5 or 4.6 are "corrupted" . After i reinstalled my Windows?XP and first rebooted , the "maggical" "You have just connected to the internet..." dialog box appeared and the Windows?Messenger 4.0 started running . So as i really like those original sounds , as they are more soothing and professional , i copied the four original media files that came with the genuine Messenger 4.0 . And after i have updated my system with all those bug pre sp-1 fixes and of course the new Messenger 4.6.0082 , i have replaced the four media files that came with latest version of Messenger with the ones i copied from the genuine 4.0 version . And Voila . New and genuine Messenger sounds that do not "fart" . Oh and by the way look at their size ... they're bigger than the latest ones ... and better may i add . That's all . Enjoy it and don't swear me for writing this much ... it's a job dependence ... Take care . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuminati Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 seems not to have fixed it for me :( and the old messenger sounds are in lower quality then the 4.7 files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Its called by a DirectSound application playing sound or music at the same time as Messenger does. The sound could be invisible :bandit: :paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuminati Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 it's not an invisible sound, but it's crackling and kinda like a fart :p so there is no way to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
