Hello from the Isles of Scilly!
I have a Dell Latitude running XP that for some reason has started going TaaDaa! (I think thats how you spell it!) every 20/25 minutes. I had a support person look at it but she couldn't identify the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello Christopher and

Hi Rockmilk and thanks for the welcome!
Yes it is an audio, one of the standard windows sounds I think.

[rockmilk]

Try and uninstall your audio driver and reboot hit the windows key and pause at the same time then select hardware then device manager then scroll down and find your audio driver right click it uninstall it then reboot.

EDIT: How is your pc running other than the current issue??

thanks for the instructions, a screen shot is attached.

[rockmilk]

No screen shot buddy but did you uninstall the driver???

[Christopher P Hopkins]

Thats odd i took a pic, never mind, would it be the Intel High def audio or IDT High def or both?

[rockmilk]

Both Doesnt matter when you uninstall it and reboot windows will automatically replace them while you were in device manager you didnt notice any yellow ! ? marks did you??

[Christopher P Hopkins]

No yellow marks, just doing reboot now, I will let you know what happens, thanks!!

[Christopher P Hopkins]

No change, its still doing it.
How annoying

[rockmilk]

Have you tried scanning your pc with your antivirus and malwarebytes and superantispyware? Make sure to update them.

[Christopher P Hopkins]

Tried the first two, never heard of the third but will get it and give it a go, thanks!

[rockmilk]
