yesterday i got the system beep a couple of times when ie crashed, but now every time i try to adjust the volume i get the system beep instead of the familiar beep indicating the voulume. i tried uninstlling the hardware and reinstalling, didnt help. i noticed that if i switch sound schemes to windows default instead of none this problem doesnt occur but i dont like the sound scheme i prefer none.
any clues?

forgot to mention that there are two volume controls in my system tray, one from creative and the other windows, this problem only occurs in windows but in the creative there is no sound anymore.

Check in Device Manager under Sound click on the + sign and Expand and see if there are any Warning signs

To get to Device Manager click Start>>Run type devmgmt.msc click OK

no warnings sign. its working fine, if i adjust the volume, it will be adjusted, the problem is the familiar beep which notifies you of the volume change has been replaced with the loud annying sytem beep. like i said this only happens when the sound scheme is set to none but if set to windows default, no problem.

Set the sound scheme to none the check the sounds in the list with the Speaker Icon beside them and click on them and then click ob the small arrow to play them......do this until you find the exact sound and see what it is.

Go to control panel, system, hardware, device manager, view, show hidden devices, non-plug and play drivers, disable Beep.
