You don't have a sticky button on your keyboard that is making one of the keys to be kept down do you?

No, not that kind of sound.
Actual sound sound, that comes out of the speakers. Not somewhere in the computer

It sounds to me like you might be getting feedback. Which usually happens if you have a microphone plugged in, the microphone hears what's coming out of your speakers, then sends that sound back out of the speakers, then back into the microphone... in an infinate loop. I'm not sure though.. I would have to hear it for myself. If you have a microphone plugged in unplug it and see what happens.

Fraid not Dead, no microphone.
Maybe the sound just has an incompatability (that's it!) with the comp. It's just when it's playing videos (usually) sometimes on music too. Just, if it gets to a sound it doesn't like, it just sends it out with a BEEP!
Kinda like morse code, except alot longer.

Hmmm.. That is really weird. I've never heard of anything like that before. I might be able to give you a few ideas...
Find the system information program in the startup menu, under accesories->system tools (asumimg you are using windows) Check to see if their is a conflict between your sound card and something else. (irq conflicts) If so, and if not.. might want to try this anyways.. It won't hurt. Move your soundcard to a different pci slot in your computer. And also make sure it's plugged in tight.
Since you had a computer guy over I'm guessing he would have been smart enough to check that though..
So it happens with mp3, movie files (avi, quicktime, real media), games and everything? Then I guess it can't be singled down to an audio codec then..
I don't know, this might be going way out but maybe give your computer a complete overhaul with drivers.
Starting with your soundcard drivers.. update them from the website. Then I would see if their are any new chipset inf drivers. (updating that fixed a problem I had with my video card at one time) If you have an intel chipset goto the intel website, find the chipset identification utility, then download the inf drivers for your chipset.
I'm almost thinking it could be your motherboard.. but that's just a hunch.
Well, here's something that can't hurt. Get a can of airduster and clean the case out. Maybe a build-up of dust is bridging a circuit somewhere?
I really don't know.
Let me know if you find a solution for it. I'm a bit curious myself.
Good luck.

Ok, my turn!
go to Run, type in dxdiag.exe.
do all the test, and when you get to the sound, look and see what your sound hardware acceleration is set at. Change it one step at a time and see if that helps.

No go... I E-Mailed the Creative support team to see if they can help me. The sound acceleration didn't do sqwat.
