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?

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 .

Its called by a DirectSound application playing sound or music at the same time as Messenger does.

The sound could be invisible :bandit: :paranoid:
